So my chicken soup with veggies has come out cloudy this time instead of it's usual clear liquid.

Anyone have any ideas? The only thing I can think of that I did differently was that I had it cooking slower and for longer than usual. I had this happen once before when I froze soup and later defrosted it to have again. My guess that time was that freezing it had somehow done it, but I didn't think that cause made too much sense. Both times (this and last) the taste was fine, but I'm wondering if there's a way to clear it up.

It's in the fridge at the moment, I don't know if pulling fat off the top would help, but I figure if no one posts a suggestion here I"ll try that.

Thanks everyone and have a good Shabbos

I think cloudy is caused by freezing or by cooking on high.

Cooking low and slow makes for clear chicken soup.

But maybe cooking too long makes soup cloudy.

When you put a plastic bag on top of the soup (especially overnight in the refrigerator), it pulls off the fat and makes the soup look clear.

If you have a fine mesh strainer that helps but skimming the fat will help too. I would put it back on and let it cook on low until Shabbos. Cooking for a long time makes a darker golden color.
