Buffalo Chicken Soup

Buffalo Chicken Soup is creamy and spicy dinner but mild enough for the whole family. With chicken, buffalo sauce, cream cheese, celery, and carrots, a flavorful soup is the result!

BUFFALO CHICKEN SOUP

I mean it’s obvious that I have a buffalo chicken obsession. Ever since my sister-in-law Kim made this Buffalo Chicken Dip twelve years ago it’s been on rotation in the Denney household. We’ve made Buffalo Chicken pasta, nachos, and Buffalo Chicken macaroni and cheese. Basically, anything we can incorporate it into, we do!

When it gets cold outside, a good soup is all I crave. This Buffalo Chicken Soup is creamy and has just enough buffalo flavor to satisfy my craving.

WHAT IS BUFFALO SAUCE MADE OF?

The base of buffalo sauce is a mixture of hot sauce, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, butter, and seasonings. I prefer the taste of Frank’s Buffalo Wing sauce.

MIREPOIX

A mirepoix is the base to most soups and is onion, carrots, and celery. Using this as the base of soups gives it so much flavor and sneaks in those veggies!

CAN I MAKE THIS SPICIER?

Yes. I’ve found that 1/4 cup of Buffalo sauce is the perfect amount to give the soup some kick but mild enough that my kids will eat it.

THICKNESS OF SOUP

If you want it thicker, simmer it longer uncovered or add more cheese. If you need to thin it out, add more chicken broth.

• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder

• 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• (optional toppings: blue cheese crumbles, bacon)

Instructions

 

• In a large pot, melt the butter. Add the celery, onion, and carrots and sautee until soft. The carrots take the longest to get soft.

• Reduce heat to low. Stir in the cheese and chicken and simmer until cheese is melted. Add salt and pepper to taste. Top with blue cheese crumbles or bacon if desired to serve.
