    If you like Buffalo chicken you will have to try this Buffalo Chicken Soup. A hearty chicken soup flavored with Buffalo Wing Sauce and Ranch Dressing. You can really heat this dish up with the wing sauce or cool it down with the dressing. Enjoy!

    I love all things buffalo chicken. I am a big spicy food person so anything with this bold flavor is right up my alley. This soup doesn't have too much spice though, I tamed it down so others can enjoy it but if you like more spice as I do then cut back on the ranch and add a little more buffalo wing sauce to the soup or even just hot sauce.

    I served mine topped with more sour cream, fresh cilantro, and a little more cheese plus a few tortilla chips in the side for dipping.

    How to make Buffalo Chicken Soup:

    This recipe is pretty simple to make but does take a little time. Cook your veggies, and then add your other ingredients. You have to cook it long enough to allow the chicken to fully cook. Shred the chicken and the add back to the soup. Mix well and serve!

    Ingredients:

    • Chicken Breasts (boneless and skinless)
    • Butter
    • Veggies: Onion,  Celery, Carrots , and Corn
    • Garlic (minced)
    • All-Purpose Flour
    • Tomato Paste
    • Chicken Broth
    • Salt and Pepper
    • Buffalo Wing Sauce
    • Sour Cream and Ranch Dressing
    • Cheddar Cheese (shredded)
    • Sour Cream and Cilantro for topping

    ingredients for Buffalo Chicken Soup

    Directions:

    Step One: In a large pot melt butter on medium heat. Add onions, celery, carrots, corn, and garlic. Cook until veggies have softened.

    Step Two: Sprinkle in flour and stir. Next add tomato paste, and chicken broth and stir well. Add in whole chicken breast and then season with salt and pepper. You can add in more salt or pepper to taste.

    Step Three: Add wing sauce, sour cream, and ranch dressing. Bring to a boil then cover and reduce heat. Simmering until chicken is cooked through. Once cooked you can remove your chicken from the pot and shred then add shredded back into the soup.

    Serving options:

    I topped mine with more sour cream and cheddar cheese. Add some cilantro on top for color. I even love it with some tortilla chips on top!

    Can I use already cooked and prepared chicken?

    If you want you can use already prepared chicken for this recipe. It would definitely speed up the cooking process and time. I recommend my All-Purpose Chicken for that. I usually make a few chicken breasts on Sunday so I have them ready for the week of cooking.

    Is it safe to cook the chicken in the soup?

    Yes, it is perfectly safe to use raw chicken and cook the chicken in the soup. You just have to have the patience and time to allow the chicken to cook for the proper amount of time. Traditionally, chicken soups were made by boiling a chicken in water and then adding all the spices, veggies, and other ingredients. This is a very old method of making chicken soup.

        Weird I know, but I do not own an instant pot. I definitely think you could do this in an instant pot though, I just would not know how to tell you to cook it!

      The recipe calls for shredded cheddar cheese but I don’t see where it is added to the soup. Is it a garnish?

        Yes, this would work great in the slow cooker. I would add everything in and mix it well and let it cook until your chicken is tender and can be shredded. Hope you enjoy the recipe Tracey!

        Hi Anne! I have yet to freeze this soup but have with similar ones. I think it would freeze great and could stay good for 2-3 months. I would place it in the fridge 24 hours before serving and then reheat.
