"We all are swimming in the same soup"

"We all are swimming in the same soup." It's the first time I read this idiom. Despite of knowing that idioms' meanings are not what it seems literally but usually it has a direct connection with it which make them good and stronger.

About the idiom above, it doesn't make sense to me because people never swim in the soup. Soup has never been a place for swimming.

Any explanation about it?

"We all are swimming in the same soup" is not an expression. It is just something somebody wrote. "To be in the soup" is an old expression meaning to be in trouble. "To be in the same boat" is an expression meaning to have the same difficulties as. It seems like the writer mashed those together and added the swimming in reference to something else I can't think of right now.
