How to Skim Fat Off Soup?

Let the soup cool slightly so the fat rises to the surface

Use a ladle or large spoon to gently lift the fat layer off the top

Drag a paper towel across the surface to absorb excess fat

Chill the soup in the refrigerator so the fat solidifies, then lift it off

Use a fat separator to pour off the broth and leave the fat behind

Place ice cubes in a metal spoon and skim the chilled spoon across the surface

Repeat skimming until most of the visible fat is removed
