Liquids & Sauces
- 1 can (10 oz) buffalo sauce
- 1 can (10 oz) cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup chicken broth
Dairy
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- Crumbled blue cheese, for garnish
Garnish
- Combine ingredients in crockpot: Place the chicken breasts, chopped onion, buffalo sauce, cream of chicken soup, and chicken broth into the crockpot, ensuring the ingredients are spread evenly.
- Cook the soup: Set the crockpot on low heat and cook for 4 hours until the chicken is thoroughly cooked. Use an instant-read thermometer to check that the internal temperature of the chicken has reached 165°F (74°C), ensuring it is safe to eat.
- Shred and mix: Once cooked, shred the chicken using two forks directly in the crockpot. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and sour cream until fully incorporated and creamy.
- Final cook: Cook the soup for an additional 30 minutes on low to allow the cheese and sour cream to meld into the soup, creating a rich, creamy consistency.
- Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish each serving with crumbled blue cheese and fresh cilantro for an added burst of flavor and freshness.
Notes
- Make sure to use cooked chicken to 165°F internal temperature to ensure food safety.
- Adjust the amount of buffalo sauce to your preferred level of spiciness.
- For a thicker soup, reduce the amount of chicken broth slightly or add more cheese.
- If you prefer less spice, substitute buffalo sauce with mild wing sauce or add more sour cream.
- This soup pairs well with crusty bread or tortilla chips for dipping.
