Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups cooked shredded chicken rotisserie or boiled
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 medium onion diced
  • 2 celery stalks diced
  • 2 carrots diced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 1 packet ranch seasoning or 2 tbsp homemade mix
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • ½ cup buffalo sauce like Frank’s RedHot
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • ½ cup cream cheese softened
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Green onions and blue cheese crumbles for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Add the olive oil and butter to a large pot over medium-high heat. Once melted, add the onion, celery, and carrots, and cook for about 7 minutes until softened. Stir in the garlic and cook for another 1 minute.
  • Sprinkle in the flour and ranch seasoning, stirring constantly for 1–2 minutes. This step helps thicken the soup and adds flavor.
  • Slowly whisk in the chicken broth while stirring to avoid lumps, then add the heavy cream and buffalo sauce. Stir well and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
  • Stir in the shredded chicken and let it cook in the soup for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to blend together.
  • Add the softened cream cheese to the pot and stir until melted and smooth. Then mix in the shredded cheddar cheese, letting it melt completely into the broth.
  • Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed. If you prefer more heat, add an extra splash of buffalo sauce.
  • Serve hot, garnished with sliced green onions and blue cheese crumbles. It pairs beautifully with crusty bread, garlic toast, or even tortilla chips for dipping.
