In the most general terms, soap is made by treating a fat or oil with an alkali, generally sodium or potassium hydroxide. You can use just about any fat or oil (lard works fine, as does olive oil, corn oil, safflower oil...) to make soap. For more details, including recipes, try the related link below.
