Notes
You can use Italian sausage in place of the chicken, when you cook it you won’t need to season with salt and pepper.
You can use other noodles in place of the lasagna noodles, even a tortellini would be great with this recipe!
When adding the liquids to the flour paste mixture (roux), pour them in slowly and keep whisking while you do. If you pour the liquid onto the roux too fast it will “break” and look chunky rather than smooth.
You can add more chicken broth to the recipe if you prefer more liquid in your soup.
