Buffalo Chicken Soup

Oh my goodness, I am so excited about sharing this soup! It is so scrumptious that my oldest son said it was the best meal he had eaten in a long time (I am trying to take that the right way). This cooler time of year, in my neck of the woods, makes soups just perfect for dinner, and this one is a definite winner.

INGREDIENTS:

• 1/4 cup butter
• 2 – 3 diced celery sticks
• 1 large carrot diced
• 1 Tablespoon dried minced onion
• 1/4 cup flour
• 3/4 cup milk (it worked great with 1%)
• 3 cups chicken broth
• 2 cups chicken, cooked and cut up (I used two 13 ounce cans of chicken, drained)
• 1/4 cup buffalo sauce
• 3/4 cup cheddar cheese
• 1/4 cup instant brown rice (optional)
• salt and pepper

Then add the flour, and stir and cook for two more minutes.

Add the milk and broth slowly while stirring.

Simmer for a couple of minutes, then add the chicken, dried onion, instant rice and buffalo sauce.
Don’t be tempted to add more buffalo sauce, unless you like your food on fire!

Simmer for 5 minutes more, then add the cheese.

Stir it in, and simmer for about 5 more minutes.
