I have a question regarding these words: "pizza", "salad", "pie" and "soup". The dictionary says they can be used as countable and uncountable. Are they used correctly in my sentence?

"I can cook soups, pizzas make salads and apple pies."

You have demonstrated how unlikely it is to see them all in the same sentence. As for soup, it is possible to make it from scratch, but it's more likely these days to buy it ready made. The same with pizza. You might make your own salad or you can buy one ready made. You can bake your own apple pie, or you can buy one.

The problem with that sentence is not with soup, pizza, salad or apple pie.

In AmE you could often read/hear "make" with soup and pizza (both singular) and "bake" with apple pie.
