Mmm, looks good! P.S. Is there any argument towards cutting the fat off after cooking the roast, as opposed to before? I've always wondered...

Hi Haley! Well, this might just be my opinion but I think you should leave the fat on while it's cooking. I think fat helps the roast to stay moist. Also it's alot easier to take fat off a roast after it has been slow cooking. Sometimes it will just falls off!

Hey Kara...I hope it's okay that I pinned you on Pinterest. I wanted to try this soup and knew I would forget unless I put it somewhere.
Anyway, it's been fun reading your blog and getting inspired to cook.
Say hello to the family for me!
