Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 2 medium carrots, peeled and diced
- 2 medium celery stalks, diced
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 6 cups chicken broth
- 3 cups cooked shredded chicken breast
- 0.66 cup Frank's RedHot Sauce (or preferred hot sauce)
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened and cubed
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 stalks green onions, sliced (for garnish)
- 0.25 cup blue cheese crumbles (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the diced onion, carrots, and celery. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir well to coat. Cook for 1-2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste.
Slowly whisk in the chicken broth, ensuring there are no lumps of flour.
Bring the mixture to a simmer, then add the cooked shredded chicken and hot sauce. Stir to combine.
Reduce the heat to low and add the cream cheese cubes. Stir continuously until the cream cheese is completely melted and incorporated into the soup.
Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, heavy cream, salt, and pepper. Continue cooking over low heat until the soup is heated through, about 5 minutes.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Serve hot, garnished with sliced green onions and blue cheese crumbles, if desired. Enjoy with crusty bread or crackers for dipping!
