Buffalo Chicken Soup
Description
The soup starts by sautéing carrots, onions, and celery in butter until softened. Chicken broth, diced tomatoes with green chiles, buffalo wing sauce, and seasoning powders are added to build a savory, spicy base. Cream cheese is whisked in to create a smooth, creamy broth.
Shredded chicken and shredded cheddar cheese are folded in and heated until cheese melts, giving the soup body and richness. Optional toppings like blue cheese crumbles and diced bacon add stronger flavors and texture contrast.
This soup can be served on its own or with bread. It features the characteristic tangy heat of buffalo sauce balanced by creamy cheese and vegetables, making it comforting yet flavorful for cooler days.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1/4 /4 cup carrot finely diced

- blue cheese optional toppings, crumbles for blue cheese, bacon diced

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.
