Lacking a clear plan, prepare ham or soup (9)
I believe the answer is:
amorphous
'lacking a clear plan' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'prepare ham or soup' is the wordplay.
'prepare' indicates anagramming the letters.
'ham'+'or'+'soup'='hamorsoup'
'hamorsoup' with letters rearranged gives 'AMORPHOUS'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for amorphous that I've seen before include "badly organised" , "Out of form" , "With no clear shape" , "Without a clearly-defined shape" , "irregular" .)
