Ingredients

Scale

Protein

  • 2 chicken breasts

Vegetables

  • 1 medium onion, chopped

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

  • Cilantro, for garnish

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
