Makes plain consomme, perhaps, having nothing to lose (6,2)

'makes' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both related to change as well as being verbs in their -s form.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?

'plain consomme perhaps having nothing to lose' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'plain' could be 'clear' (synonyms) and 'clear' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'sup' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?
