Soup Making Tips -
Carrots
Avoid buying thick carrots whenever possible. Carrots that are very large contain cores that are very woody, and tasteless.

Soup Making Tips -
Spooning Off Fat
Move soup to one side of the burner and fat will accumulate on one side of the stockpot. Spooning off the excess fat becomes easier.
