\nNotes from Veronica; Fat settles on top, to keep this from
\nhappening stir 1\/2 teaspoon corn starch into 1\/2 cup of cold
\nwater and stir into soup. This will emulsify the fats and oils in
\nany of these soups and other liquids. Soups are a good place to
\nuse some of that fat you used for deep-fat frying it adds a nice
\nflavor.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
