Does blowing on a hot liquid actually make it cool down faster?

Yes.

Air has a low ability to absorb and store heat. So the air touching your soup heats up at the expense of the soup. Hot air rises. New air then is in contact with your soup....

This convection happens naturally. By blowing on the soup, you have soup and air flowing against each other, greatly increasing the heat exchanged between the two.
