  • Prep Time: 15 min
  • Cook Time: 70 min
  • Total Time: 1 hour 25 minutes

Ingredients

Scale

1/2 head Cauliflower, chopped finely
1 red pepper
2 cups shredded carrots
1 small onion, diced
2 celery stalks, diced
1 tablespoon celery leaf, chopped finely
4 cloves garlic (minced)
1 pound chicken breast shredded
2 (32 oz) chicken broth carton
8 ounce mild cheddar cheese
8 ounce cream cheese, room tempature softened
1 pint heavy whipping cream
one seasoning packet of ranch dressing
1 cup Frank’s RedHot Buffalo Wing Sauce
1 teaspoon olive oil
4 ounces blue cheese crumbles
2 tablespoon fresh parsley
2 tablespoon fresh chives


Instructions

On a cutting board cut up the cauliflower, red pepper, onion, and celery. Mince the garlic cloves. Set all the vegetables aside.

In a large sauce pan add the olive oil and turn the heat to medium high. Add the vegetables except the cauliflower that were put aside. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Saute until onions are translucent and vegetables are tender.

While the onions are cooking you can cook the chicken. Take a stock pot and add the chicken broth and chicken breasts. Bring the broth to boiling or on medium-high heat; reduce the heat. Cover the pan and simmer until the chicken is no longer pink (170°F), about 15- 20 minutes. Then remove the chicken with a slotted spoon so the broth can drain off back into the stock pot.

Place the cooked chicken breasts on a cutting board. Allow it to cool for 5 minutes. Use either bear claws or 2 forks to shred the chicken.

While the chicken is cooling you can make the creamy buffalo chicken broth. Add the mild cheddar cheese, cream cheese, heavy whipping cream, seasoning packet of ranch dressing, and Frank’s RedHot Buffalo Wing Sauce to the stock pot. Stir it on low and keep stirring till it is all blended together, about 5 minutes.

Then add the shredded chicken, sauteed vegetables, shredded carrots, cauliflower, celery leaf into the stock pot. Cover and simmer for 25 minutes.

Garnish each soup bowl you serve with blue cheese crumbles, fresh chives, and fresh parsley.
