Like many of you, I love Buffalo wings, too.  But sometimes, I do want to stay away from the mess, especially on some days you want to be a couch potato.  That was the reason I created this recipe.

Tug it under a cozy blanket on the couch watching a movie with a bowl of hot soup tastes like Buffalo wings.  Wouldn't you say that is one of the best moments of life?  I would.  Simple and relaxing.

When I make soup, I don't usually make it too thick.  This one is an exception.  When I made this creamy chicken soup recipe the first time, I tried to make it similar to the regular soup I always make.  It was not filling or thick enough to hold the Buffalo wing flavor.  So, when I made it the second time, I made a thick one like this which comes out perfect.

This creamy chicken soup recipe is a perfect couch potato recipe.  If you are the buffalo chicken lover, this is even better.  You don’t need to worry about getting messy and dirty, but comfy.


CHEF NOTES

Feel free to replace the fat free half and half with regular milk or fat free milk.

Also, I purposefully put just a little bit of Buffalo wing sauce into the soup and serve the bottle of sauce on the side.  It is because some of my family members can only take a little bit of heat.  If you have family and/or friends like that, I highly recommend you to do the same as well.

  1. Bring 2 cups (14oz / 403g)of chicken broth to a boil in a big saucepan.
  2. Chop and drop the vegetables; add diced vegetables in this order: potatoes, carrots, onion and celery.
