Buffalo Chicken Soup Recipe
Description
This soup starts with melting butter and cooking diced celery until tender, then flour is added and cooked briefly to create a base thickener. Slowly whisking in half-and-half and water with a dissolved chicken bouillon cube forms the creamy broth.
Cooked and cubed chicken is stirred into the broth along with buffalo wing sauce and shredded cheddar cheese. The mixture simmers until the cheese melts, producing a velvety, spicy soup with the characteristic tang and heat from buffalo sauce balanced by the richness of the dairy.
Seasoned with garlic salt, parsley flakes, and black pepper, the soup delivers layered savory and spicy flavors. It can be garnished with bleu cheese for added tang and creaminess, enhancing the buffalo profile.
This hearty soup serves well as a warming meal and pairs nicely with simple sides or bread. It’s best served immediately while hot.
