I would surely render the fat out of the meat first, so it doesn't rise to the top of the soup - it is much more time consuming to scoop it out, let it cool, and then put it through a fat separator. I do think the use of sun dried tomatoes is a wonderful way to add great tomato flavor, especially in the winter when the store bought "fresh" ones are not so great. Plus they contain much less sodium than the canned variety.
