To stay healthy, you should skim the fat off the soup like this.

Simmer your soup gently—don’t let it boil hard, or the fat will just blend in and be tough to remove later. When you see the fat float to the top, use a fine mesh skimmer or even the back of a cold metal spoon to collect the fat. Just glide it along the surface and wipe off the fat as you go. If you want a super clear broth, strain the soup after removing all the chunky stuff. Pour it through a gravy separator or even a damp, cold kitchen towel in a colander. The fat sticks to the towel, and the broth runs through. For the easiest fat removal, chill your soup overnight. The fat solidifies on top, and you can just lift it off with a spoon. This is my favorite for big batches! Pick the method that fits your schedule and tools. It really makes a difference in flavor and texture! #SoupTips #HealthyCooking #KitchenHacks #Food #Cooking
