"Soup to nuts" is an English idiom conveying the meaning of "from beginning to end". But I have never heard of"keep out of the soup." Maybe it has something to do with not getting in a situation that you shouldnt be in... Like not getting in to boiling water!

"An idiom is an expression whose meaning is not compositional—that is, whose meaning does not follow from the meaning of the individual words of which it is composed. For example, the English phrase to kick the bucket means to die. A listener knowing the meaning of kick and bucket will not thereby be able to predict that the expression can mean to die. Idioms are often, though perhaps not universally, classified as figures of speech. "
I'm guessing that you can't look at that sentence and figure out what each word means?

i've got faith it comes from trench conflict, enormously in WW1, while the word meant which you have been protecting low so as that no sniper, shrapnel, or something undesirable could do away with your face. As an idiom, it ability protecting your self clean of any injury or mess which could be around you. to illustrate, President Bush could have been properly recommended to 'save his head down' touching directly to Iraq, yet for advantageous he did not.

It means that some people cook up things such as gossip and trouble. The phrase means to step out of that kind of group activity that is negative and dont get caught up in things that are bad or can get you or someone else hurt or in trouble. Good luck on your homework

It means "don't go in the soup". Which is fair enough. I mean, would you eat soup after somebody had been in it?
