Servant of the Lake Seasoning the Soup achievement

Preparing Dinner hidden achievement: kill the cake-area fly with the knife, add it to the soup, and continue the hallucination. Not the dinner rope check.

Quick answer

During Preparing Dinner, use the knife on the fly above the cake, add the dead fly to the soup, and continue through the soup hallucination. This is the afternoon kitchen achievement, not Safety Test in the evening dining room. Collecting the fly alone does not finish the route.
