Cheesy Buffalo Chicken Soup

 

Buffalo. Just say Buffalo and you have my complete attention. I just love Buffalo flavor. On chicken, on pizza, on chicken wings, on nuggets, on soup! And as you know from my previous post, I had leftovers from  the Buffalo Chicken Pizza, so I decided to make them a soup. 

I used:

• 3/4 cup Marzetti's Blue Cheese dressing
• 1/2 cup Frank's Red Hot Sauce (If you love spicy, then add another 1/2 cup)
• 1/4 finely chopped onion
• 2 finely chopped garlic cloves
• 1 tbsp butter
• 4 cups shredded chicken
• 4 1/2 cups chicken broth
• 3 finely chopped celery sticks
• 1/2 cup coarsly chopped baby carrots
• 1/2 cup mozzarella shredded cheese
• 5 slices Muenster cheese (use whatever cheese you prefer)

Melt butter in a deep pot. 

Chop your veggies.

Caramelize onion for around 5-10 minutes and add garlic for 2 more minutes, stirring occasionally.

Add chicken and stir in butter with veggies.

Add celery.

And carrots.

Now add chicken broth and stir. Add buffalo sauce.

Stir and let it simmer.

 Add blue cheese dressing and stir. I'm so sad I couldn't get the real color of my soup. This looks more red-ish than the actal one. Anyways... let it simmer for 10 minutes.

Remove from heat, add mozarella cheese and stir several times. Top with Munster cheese and cover. 

Let it sit for 5 minutes. 

Serve.

Ok, this is the real color.

The taste is FABULOUS!

Give it a try and let me know how it goes!
