SOUP TIPS: Refrigerate cooked stews and soups overnight before serving. The fat will rise to the top and you can skim it off before heating and serving.
In a hurry to skim the fat from the soup? An ice cube floated in the soup will help to congeal the fat and make it easier to remove. A leaf of lettuce dropped in a pot of soup absorb the grease from the top. Freeze the liquids from canned mushrooms or vegetables; use it in soups or stews later. To remove excessive salt from soup, drop in a sliced raw potato. To thicken your soup, take some of the cooked vegetables out of the soup and puree in the blender. Then return to the original soup mixture. Good friends are hard to find, harder to leave, and impossible to forget. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Access the Recipes And More list archives at: http://www.mail-archive.com/recipesandmore%40googlegroups.com/ Visit the group home page at: http://groups.google.com/group/RecipesAndMore -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
