Option 2 - Light cooking
Buffalo Chicken Soup
Ingredients:
1/2 medium onion chopped
2 sticks celery chopped small
2 medium carrots peeled & chopped small
1 tablespoon flour
1 (1 ounce) packet ranch seasoning (I used Hidden Valley)
4 cups chicken broth
1/4 cup Frank's Red Hot Original Sauce
1.5 pounds uncooked chicken breasts
2 ounces cream cheese
Salt & pepper to taste
Instructions:
1. Sauté the onions, celery, and carrots for about 7 minutes with spray oil on a pan.
2. Stir in the flour and ranch seasoning, followed by the chicken broth and Frank's Red Hot.
3. Add the chicken breasts (no need to cut them up) to the pot. Increase the heat to high and bring the soup to a boil. Once it's boiling, reduce the heat so the soup is simmering. Cover with the lid slightly open, and let it cook for 12 minutes. If the chicken isn't fully submerged, you may want to flip it over halfway through cooking.
4. Take the chicken out of the pot and place it on a cutting board. Meanwhile, add the cream cheese to the soup. Cut up the chicken. It should be mostly cooked, but if it's not quite done yet, that's fine. You may need to give the cream cheese a helping hand with your spoon. Add the cut-up chicken into the soup once the cream cheese is incorporated.
5. If the chicken isn't quite cooked, let it cook for a few more minutes. Season the soup with salt & pepper as needed. Serve and garnish as desired. If you love blue cheese, you can stir some right into the soup prior to dishing it up.
