When you skim something you carefully 'slice' off a thin flat layer - when you make soup, any fat floats on the surface. You need to remove the fat without losing any of the soup.

since the fat is floating on the surface of the soup ,

you can use a spoon to skim off the fat.( remove floating matter from (a liquid)

You can also skim over a surface (I'm thinking ice skating here) or skim through some text (read quickly just the odd word here or there to get the general sense).
