Morphology
The verb 'soar' already denotes a rapid rise and the particle 'up' simply reinforces upward direction, so the combined meaning is directly derivable from the constituent words. This is a standard compositional V + particle pattern found in many languages, making it immediately comprehensible to a B1 learner who knows both words.
Etymology
The verb phrase soar up comes from the image of a bird or plane suddenly soaring up into the sky. Because something that soars up goes quickly to a much higher level, people use it for prices, profits, or temperatures that 'rise quickly' or 'increase a lot'.
