White Chicken Lasagna Soup Note :
- If you would like to omit the thick cream but still would like a thicker soup then, I suggest whisking 2 tsp cornstarch with a number of the chicken broth and adding into the soup to simmer and thicken.
- I really like lasagna noodles in this recipe, they’re slurpilicious! Do not worry about them breaking evenly. You won’t notice as soon as they cook. You might even substitute the noodles together with 2 ½ cups uncooked tiny shells if wanted and simmer for less time.
