  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

Main Soup:

  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 celery stalks, diced
  • 2 carrots, diced
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 2 cups cooked shredded chicken (rotisserie works well)
  • ½ cup Buffalo wing sauce (Frank’s RedHot recommended)
  • 1 can (15 oz / 425 g) white beans, drained and rinsed
  • ½ cup heavy cream (or half-and-half)
  • ½ cup crumbled blue cheese (plus more for topping)
  • ½ tsp smoked paprika
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • Salt, to taste

Optional Garnish:

  • Chopped green onions
  • Extra hot sauce
  • Tortilla strips

Instructions

  1. Sauté Vegetables: In a large pot, heat butter and olive oil over medium heat. Sauté onion, celery, carrots, and garlic until softened (5–6 minutes).
  2. Add Ingredients: Add chicken broth, shredded chicken, Buffalo sauce, beans, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir well and bring to a simmer.
  3. Cook: Cook uncovered for 20 minutes to let flavors meld.
  4. Finish Soup: Stir in heavy cream and crumbled blue cheese until melted and creamy. Taste and adjust seasoning or Buffalo sauce to your heat preference.
  5. Serve: Serve hot, garnished with green onions, tortilla strips, and extra blue cheese if desired.

Notes

  • For extra creaminess, stir in 4 oz cream cheese before adding blue cheese.
  • Add corn or diced potatoes for more texture.
  • Swap blue cheese for ranch dressing if you prefer a milder flavor.
  • Can be made in a slow cooker: cook veggies, chicken, broth, and spices on low for 6 hours, stir in cream and blue cheese before serving.
