  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1/2 cup diced carrot

Instructions
1
Heat a substantial soup vessel over medium heat. Melt butter within it, stirring occasionally until fully incorporated.

Add chicken fat to the mixture; continue cooking and stirring until the onions become soft and lose their initial opacity, approximately 5 to 6 minutes.

Next, incorporate roasted chicken broth into the pot; bring the mixture to a rolling boil. If additional seasoning is required, add salt as needed.

Subsequently, introduce egg noodles to the pot; cook until they become tender and palatable, roughly 5 minutes.
