Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 cup red onion chopped
- 2 stalks celery chopped
- 2 carrots chopped
- kosher salt to taste
- ground black pepper to taste
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- ½ cup ranch dressing
- ¼ cup buffalo sauce plus more to taste
- 1 ½ pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 8 ounces cream cheese room temperature and cut into cubes
- chopped green onions and blue cheese crumbles for garnish
Instructions
- In a Dutch oven set over medium-high heat, melt the oil and butter together. Add the onion, celery, and carrots, season with salt and pepper, and sauté for 5-6 minutes, until softened. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
- Add the flour, stirring to coat the vegetables.
- Pour in the chicken broth, ranch, and Buffalo sauce.
- Add the chicken breasts to the pot. Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 12-15 minutes, until the chicken is fully cooked.
- Remove the chicken, transfer to a bowl to cool slightly, then shred or chop it.
- Increase the heat to medium-high. Add the softened cream cheese cubes, stirring well until the cheese is melted and incorporated.
- Add the shredded chicken back to the pot, stir well, and cook until warmed through. For a spicier soup, add more Buffalo sauce. Serve garnished with green onions and blue cheese.

Notes
- Storage: Store soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. I don't recommend freezing this soup because when frozen and thawed, creamy soups can become grainy.
