Radiant Soul. Once per turn, when a spell you cast deals Radiant or Fire damage, you can add your Charisma modifier to that spell’s damage against one of the spell’s targets.
Fire’s Burn (Fire Giant). When you hit a target with an attack roll and deal damage to it, you can also deal 1d10 Fire damage to that target.
If I applied the Goliath ability Fire's Burn to an Eldritch Blast hit, would that count as a spell dealing Fire damage for the purpose of Radiant Soul? If so, I assume that Charisma bonus would stack with the bonus from Agonizing Blast.
This sage advice was quoted in this thread, and I think that it should apply here.
@quadhund If I make 1 attack with a longsword as a part of casting Green Flame Blade, while having the Hex spell affecting the target, and then I use Divine Smite once the attack hits, how many damage rolls are there? @JeremyECrawford When something in the game (Sneak Attack, Divine Smite, hex, etc.) causes your attack/spell/etc. to deal extra dice of damage, those dice are added to the damage the effect is already dealing, if any. It's one big damage roll, extra damage included. @DaveWil33 Would only be a second damage roll if there was something locked behind a save like poison damage, yes? @JeremyECrawford If an attack has a damage roll but also a second damage roll (not extra damage) that is contingent on a saving throw, the damage of that second source is a different damage roll from the first. @RubiksMoose how do you distinguish between second damage roll and extra damage? @JeremyECrawford Separate damage rolls are delivered by separate attack rolls, saving throws, or other processes. Extra/bonus/additional damage is called extra/bonus/additional damage.

Radiant Soul won't interact with Agonizing Blast because it deals Force damage, not Radiant or Fire. As commented here, Agonizing Blast + Radiant Soul will be useful for spell such as Fire Bolt
Then, if you hit with Eldritch Blast:
Agonizing Blast interacts with it
I'd say Fire’s Burn won't be affected by Agonizing Blast or Radiant Soul because the damage doesn't come from a spell, it's a separate source of damage.

Agonizing Blast: Choose one of your known Warlock cantrips that deals damage. You can add your Charisma modifier to that spell’s damage rolls.
Radiant Soul: Once per turn, when a spell you cast deals Radiant or Fire damage, you can add your Charisma modifier to that spell’s damage against one of the spell’s targets.

I'd say that it adds. Everything is one big damage roll even if some parts of it trigger of other parts of the damage roll (otherwise the Radiant Soul feature wouldn't work at all).
In the SAC that you are responding to and that I literally got from your old post, it says that it needs its own process for it to be a separate attack damage roll.
The way I interpreted it when reading the features, I assumed that Fire's Burn added 1d10 fire damage to a hit with Eldritch Blast, meaning that particular hit would count as a spell dealing fire damage. Since there isn't another attack roll or save involved, I think that reference from sage advice means I was correct. Thanks for the help.

Doesn't this disprove that though?
I think not because as commented in the thread Fire's Burn, Frost's Chill and Critical Hits, Fire's Burn is not extra/bonus/additional damage, but a separate damage roll.
I'd say that it adds. Everything is one big damage roll even if some parts of it trigger of other parts of the damage roll (otherwise the Radiant Soul feature wouldn't work at all).
