Remove excess grease from soups and stews by putting a lettuce leaf in it. Let the lettuce leaf absorb some of the grease and then toss it. You can also put a few ice cubes in your soup and stir them around a bit. Then quickly remove them before they melt. Fat will stick to the sides of the ice cubes.

Tips written by our staff will say "By ThriftyFun". That's our name. :-) It's a group effort.
I just take a paper towel and blot the top of the liquid to sop out the excess fat. It works for me.
You can also put ice cubes in a metal ladle and run it around the top of your soup. Grease will stick to the bottom of the ladle, then wipe it off with a paper towel.
I tried both the ladle full of ice across the soup to harden grease and the lettuce leaf. I did the ladle first (it needed several times) and finish with the lettuce leaf.
