Instant Buffalo Chicken Soup PIN to try later!
for this week Friday favorite Choose I remind you of this delicious Instant Buffalo Chicken Soup. This is a soup recipe for people who love the strong flavors of Frank’s spicy red sauce and crumbled blue cheese!
If you like spicy buffalo wings dipped in blue cheese, or any other kind of buffalo chicken flavor, you’ll probably love this creamy stew with blue cheese crumbles. But if you are suspicious of any of these flavors, you may prefer one of the others immediately a pot the soup!
It took me a few tries to test different variations of Buffalo Chicken Soup Jake And the Kara To create a version of Buffalo Chicken Soup that we thought was a winner. And then, after I uploaded the pictures, I wished we had ground the thyme when we added it to the soup. But I decided specks of thyme add character to the soup (and the thyme adds great flavor!) so for all you Buffalo Chicken lovers, I hope you enjoy this soup!
What ingredients do you need for this recipe?
How spicy is Buffalo Chicken Soup?
I would say this soup is rather spicy. But my advice is: you can always add more red-hot Frank sauce to the prepared soup, but you can’t take it out. The amount we finished with the recipe made for a delicious soup that we thought was hot enough, but feel free to use less of Frank’s red hot sauce if you’re not sure how much heat you want.
What if you’re not a fan of blue cheese?
If you enjoy the flavors of Buffalo chicken but aren’t big on the pungent flavor of blue cheese, just top the soup with Parmesan or any other grated or crumbled white cheese you like.
What size Instant Pot did you use?

Low Carb Diet Low Glycemic Diet South Beach Diet Suggestions:
Buffalo chicken soup is a good choice for any low-carb diet. It’s probably a bit too high in fat to be officially approved for the original South Beach Diet, but if you used low-fat cream cheese and ditched the blue cheese, it wouldn’t be bad for a treat.
