I believe the answer is:

stock

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This might be a double definition.

'flower usable for' is the first definition.
'stock' can be an answer for 'flower' (I've seen this before). I am unsure of the 'usable for' bit.

'soup?' is the second definition.
(I know that stock is a type of soup)

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for stock that I've seen before include "Supply; plant" , "Merchandise - ancestry" , "Supply; part of rifle" , "F < for traditional" , "Cravat worn as part of ridingkit" .)
