This Buffalo chicken soup recipe takes care of the issue, providing loads of Buffalo wing flavor in every mouthful, no extra napkins required. This <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/creamy-cheesy-soup-recipes-that-will-melt-your-heart\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/creamy-cheesy-soup-recipes-that-will-melt-your-heart\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">creamy soup<\/a> also includes celery, carrots and onion for a bit of nutrition to go along with the pre-cooked chicken. Cream cheese makes the soup perfectly creamy, while a nice Buffalo sauce gives it that flavor you crave. This soup is great on game day, or any day, because we all could use a little more spice in our lives.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Ingredients for Buffalo Chicken Soup<\/strong><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Celery, carrots and onion:<\/strong> This trio of chopped veggies adds textural variation to the soup, along with nutrients such as potassium, beta carotene, calcium and vitamin K.<\/li>\n<li><strong>All-purpose flour:<\/strong> Flour makes an excellent thickener for soups and gravies. Cooking it in the butter ahead of the liquid ingredients makes it a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-make-roux\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-make-roux\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">roux<\/a>, which in turn thickens the soup.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Ranch seasoning mix:<\/strong> This tasty mixture gives the soup some of the same seasonings and flavors of a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/ranch-dressing\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/ranch-dressing\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">ranch dressing<\/a>, but in powdered form, including the buttermilk. It&#8217;s the perfect companion for Buffalo chicken soup&#8217;s somewhat spicy, tangy flavor.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Salt and pepper:<\/strong> The salt and pepper add more flavor to the dry mixture before the liquid ingredients go into the soup. Feel free to eliminate the extra salt here if you&#8217;re reducing your sodium intake, since several other ingredients include salt.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Reduced-sodium chicken broth:<\/strong> The broth serves as the liquid base for the soup, starting things out with a savory chicken flavor.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Half-and-half cream:<\/strong> Half-and-half helps turn the liquid into a creamy soup.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Buffalo wing sauce:<\/strong> A Buffalo wing sauce is typically made of hot sauce and butter, but there are packaged versions that already have the flavor profile down pat. Here&#8217;s how to make your own <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/crispy-buffalo-wings\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/crispy-buffalo-wings\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">Buffalo chicken sauce<\/a> using hot sauce, butter and a little brown sugar.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Chicken breasts:<\/strong> Cook the chicken breasts in advance, then shred them. Using two forks and pulling in opposite directions is an easy way to shred chicken.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cream cheese:<\/strong> The cream cheese makes the soup creamy, cheesy and tangy. It pairs perfectly with the Buffalo sauce that&#8217;s also in the recipe.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Crumbled blue cheese and celery leaves (optional):<\/strong> The blue cheese adds a little extra tang atop the soup, while the celery leaves are purely a garnish, paying homage to the celery sticks typically served on the side with Buffalo wings.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>Directions\u202f<\/strong><\/h2>\n<h3>Step 1: Cook the vegetables<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2073065\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Buffalo-Chicken-Soup_TOHD24_278397_NicolePerry-1-scaled.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Saut\u00e9eing mirepoix for Buffalo Chicken Soup\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Nicole Perry for Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>In a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/our-favorite-dutch-ovens\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/our-favorite-dutch-ovens\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">Dutch oven<\/a>, melt the butter over medium heat.

Leftover turkey breast or even thighs are delicious in this soup, and they&#8217;re packed with protein. Shred the cooked turkey or cut it into small cubes before adding it to the soup.<\/p>\n<h3>Could I use hot sauce instead of Buffalo wing sauce?<\/h3>\n<p>Sure! <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/the-ultimate-guide-to-hot-sauces-and-how-to-use-them\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/the-ultimate-guide-to-hot-sauces-and-how-to-use-them\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">Hot sauce<\/a> is one of the two main ingredients in Buffalo wing sauce (along with butter). If using hot sauce, use slightly less than the recipe calls for; you can always add more if the soup isn&#8217;t as spicy as you&#8217;d like. If desired, add a pat of butter to the soup to really bring out that Buffalo wing sauce flavor.<\/p>\n<h3>Could I use a ground meat instead?<\/h3>\n<p>Sure, though the texture will be different. Saute ground chicken or turkey in the pan with a little butter along with the vegetables, cooking until the meat is no longer pink and the veggies are tender. Drain any excess grease, then follow the recipe as directed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Your next game day spread will be even more scrumptious than usual when you add this
