Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Cooked chicken (shredded or diced)
- 0.75 cup Buffalo wing sauce
- 2 cups Chicken broth
- 8 ounces Cream cheese (softened and cubed)
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup Ranch dressing
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Chopped green onions (for garnish)
- 2 tablespoons Crumbled blue cheese (optional, for garnish)
- 1 bag/loaf Tortilla chips or crusty bread (for serving)
Instructions
In a large pot or Dutch oven, add the chicken broth and bring it to a simmer over medium heat.
Add the softened cream cheese cubes to the pot, whisking constantly until melted and fully incorporated into the broth.
Slowly stir in the Buffalo wing sauce, ranch dressing, and heavy cream, mixing well to combine.
Add the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir to incorporate the spices evenly.
Gently fold in the shredded chicken and shredded cheddar cheese. Continue stirring until the cheese is fully melted and the chicken is heated through.
Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
If serving as a soup, ladle the mixture into bowls. Garnish each bowl with chopped green onions and crumbled blue cheese, if desired.
If serving as a dip, transfer the mixture to a serving bowl or slow cooker set to the 'keep warm' setting. Place tortilla chips or crusty bread on the side for dipping.
Enjoy your Buffalo Chicken Soup or Dip hot, and savor the bold, zesty flavors!
