So....that; so....as to
We can use "so" followed by an adjective or an adverb and a that-clause in sentence such as:
The recipe was so simple that even I could cook it = because the recipe was so simple, even I could cook it.
He was walking so slowly that before too long we caught him up = because he was walking so slowly....
Less commonly we use "so" followed by and adject
