Then keep the soup cooking at a simmer. It can continue bubbling, but not boil. Makes sense:)? Last Edited On: 10/31/2011 05:54 By Dumbledore [Admin] - Reason: Corrected subject

That helps with the dirt and then I skim off the dirt and fat as soon as it boils and it rises to the top. I do this 2 times and that is the trick! Then when the soup is all finished, I like to strain the soup into a clean pot and add back whatever vegetables the family likes and I throw out the bones. If you keep the soup as is when you serve it(bones, not strained etc..) I find that the soup isn't as clean and clear.

My soup was never so good! The veg taste fresh, they are not shlumpy and mushy!

I place a clean paper towel on top of the container into which i pour in the soup. that separates the "dirt" and fat from the rest of the soup. only clear nonfat soup goes through. you might need to replace the paper towel more than once during the process. it's a hassle and a mess but for me it's worth it.
