Soup Making Tips -
Vegetable Peelers

	Vegetable peelers are an essential part of soup preparation. A vertical swivel-blade peeler is ideal if you wish to avoid wasting any food, because the blade closely stays with the shape of the food you are peeling. A horizontal Y-shaped peeler is better if you need to make quick work with potatoes.
