ABS DIET POWER TIP
To save fat calories, make your soup a day before eating and chill in the refrigerator. The fat
will rise to the top, where it's easy to scrape off with a spoon. To reduce the fat content of
creamy soups without losing the creaminess, replace the traditional roux (flour cooked in fat)
with pureed soup vegetables.
