Instructions

  1. Gather the ingredients.
  2. Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in onion and cook until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.
  3. While onions are cooking, place diced potatoes, carrots, water, and chicken bouillon in another pot and bring to a boil. Cook until vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes. Season with black pepper to taste.

Notes
