【Miss English】From Soup to Nuts

is an American English idiom conveying the meaning of "from beginning to end". It is derived from the description of a full course dinner, in which courses progress from soup to a dessert of nuts. It is comparable to expressions in other languages, such as the Latin phrase ab ovo usque ad mala ("from the egg to the apples"), describing the typical Roman meal.



"Soup to nuts" is often used in I.T. and Project Management to refer to "the complete process" from original idea to completion. It is also commonly used in the internal inspection process in CPA firms to identify the comprehensive beginning to end approach.
