How much fat should be in a well-made soup stock?

Making Stock: Trim the fat

A well-made stock contains very little fat.

Begin by trimming all meat and bones of visible fat, and finish by either skimming the stock carefully while still warm or chilling the stock so that the fat forms a solid layer and is easily removed.

Alternatively, and easiest yet, use an inexpensive gravy separator.
