Buffalo Chicken Soup

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

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

 

Dice celery, carrot and if using fresh, the onion. Melt butter in frying pan over medium heat and saute the vegetables for about 5 minutes.

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

Don’t be tempted to add more buffalo sauce, unless you like your food on fire!

    This looks great! We went out to dinner and had some AWFUL buffalo wings. Maybe I will make this soup for lunch tomorrow to make up for it. Thanks for sharing on Friday Favorites!
