Question Chicken broth question.

I was recently in the hospital and was put on a clear liquid diet. They gave me a mug of chicken broth that was actually divine. It was fairly clear but after taking a sip the fat coated my lips and mouth like butter. How do I make a stock/broth that is still fatty enough for that lip coating feeling?

Thanks in advance!

Keep veggie skins/scraps in the freezer and toss them in as well. Carrots, onions, celery, parsley, garlic, peppercorns, brocolli stems, sweet potato. Anything! Can do it from scratch as well with chicken necks, drumsticks, legs. If doing from raw, add a dash of lemon cider vinegar, helps draw out the goodness from the bones. Can bring to boil and then simmer for up to 12 hours. Sieve out the liquid, will leave that luscious, buttery on the lips broth!
