When making soup, if you put a few bars of ice in the pan, all the fat will come together on top of the soup and this way, you will be able to easily get all the fat out with a spoon.

If there is too much salt in the soup, add raw potato or apple slice and cook on low heat for 10 minutes, the effect of salt will be significantly reduced. Later, remove the piece from the soup.
