Method
 

Instructions
  1. Heat oil and butter in a soup pot, then sweat carrots, onion, celery, and garlic with salt for 8-10 minutes. Add chicken stock, bring to a boil, then simmer for 30 minutes.
  2. Whisk salt and flour, then add eggs to a well in the center and stir until a sticky dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface until smooth and dense, then let it rest for 20 minutes.
  3. Divide dough into four balls. Roll out each ball thinly, dust with flour, and roll up like a sleeping bag. Cut into 1/4 inch or 3/4 inch slices, unroll, and set aside.
  4. Bring soup to a boil, then add noodles gradually, stirring to prevent sticking. Incorporate parsley and chicken, cook for 15 minutes, adjust seasonings, stir in lemon juice, and serve.
