Slow Cooker Buffalo Chicken Soup

Submitted by: CHEF_MEG
Slow Cooker Buffalo Chicken Soup

Introduction

Did you know that just three buffalo wings have 10 grams of fat? (Who eats just three?) This soup has all the spice, creaminess, and tang you crave--with a fraction of the fat. Did you know that just three buffalo wings have 10 grams of fat? (Who eats just three?) This soup has all the spice, creaminess, and tang you crave--with a fraction of the fat.
Number of Servings: 6

Ingredients

    1 onion, diced, about 1 cup
    2 stalks celery, diced
    1 medium carrot, diced
    2 cloves garlic, sliced
    1 hot pepper,* deseeded and chopped
    1 1/2 cups no salt added diced tomatoes
    1/2 teaspoon paprika
    1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
    12 ounces chicken breast, diced
    3 cups homemade or low-salt chicken stock
    1 tablespoon hot sauce

    For garnish:
    2 tablespoons blue cheese, crumbled
    1 celery stalk, thinly sliced

    * choose a pepper that's right for your heat preference. An Anaheim pepper is milder and that's what I used in this recipe.


Tips

Hot sauce is packed full of salt. I chose to use spices to add flavor then add a bit of hot sauce for tang.


Directions

Place all the soup ingredients except for the hot sauce in a slow cooker, and stir to combine. Cover and cook on high for 3 hours or low for 6.

Before serving, stir in the hot sauce.
Top each bowl with 1 teaspoon blue cheese and chopped celery.

This soup is "medium" in terms of heat.
For "hot" soup: Choose a hotter pepper, and leave the seeds in the pepper.
For "mild" soup: Stir 1/4 cup Greek yogurt into 1/2 cup of the hot soup, then stir the soup-yogurt mixture into the rest of the soup. (This step prevents the yogurt from curdling.) The yogurt will add about 25 calories and 1.6 grams of fat to each serving--not calculated in this recipe.


Serving Size: Makes 6 cups.

    I'm glad I read the comments first, then I know what to expect when I make the soup. It still sounds good.
    I always read the comments first before trying a recipe! Have learned the hard way, this could have been one of those times! - 9/12/12

    Good, but not amazing. I added the yogurt as instructed, and it still doesn't look nearly as thick, creamy, or orange as the picture. We liked it, but weren't going crazy -- the flavor was a little on the light side. Glad we tried it, though! - 8/12/12

    Was not overly thrilled. The soup was good, but it wasn't anything like I expected it to be, so it was disappointing. - 1/3/13

    Hmm. How about trying again and adding some diced potato? Chef Meg

    Looks awesome! For those who say it doesn't look creamy: there was an optional step wherein you add yogurt. Did you do that? If not, then it won't be creamy. - 8/7/12

    substitute some of the stock for low fat cream of chicken soup. I made a bit of a bigger batch but I used 32oz. stock and one can cream of chicken. I also added some fat free mozzarella in while it was cooking and a couple jalapenos and a bell for the peppers since I love spice. turned out awesome!! - 1/30/13

    Basic spicy chicken soup. I thickened mine w/some ground flaxseed & cream cheese I needed to use up. Next time, I'll puree some of the soup w/my stick blender to thicken it up. I also upped the spice/tang without adding sodium by adding vinegar and more cayenne instead of extra hot sauce. - 10/10/12

    Decent - I love slow cooker recipes because they're so versatile. I messed with the calories by adding more chicken and a little low-fat cream cheese at the end to cream it up. - 9/17/12

    This soup worked wetland with tobasco does definitely have a buffalo chicken type flavor. I did not like the yogurt addition that I did for the kids but I used a Laughing Cow light blue cheese wedge in my bowl that worked really well. My kids might like it better if I left out the cayenne for them. - 9/14/12

    This was really good. We didn't add the hot sauce until after everyone had their own bowl; with small kids in the house this allowed for everyone to have the right amount of heat. I used an anaheim pepper it it gave it just the right amount of kick. We'll definitely make this again. - 1/17/13

    I would add a full cup of yogurt (if you are eating this as a meal, you need more calories anyway. Why not add healthy dairy) I would also add the chicken whole and shred with a fork after cooked. This should help give a fuller look. Also, if you miss the crunch, try adding some plain cereal as a g - 12/5/12

    I really liked this soup, although I felt it was missing just a touch of salt. I NEVER add salt to my food, but when eating this, while I enjoyed it, I just had this it is missing something. I would LOVE to have the recipe for the dip in the picture because it looks AWESOME. - 9/26/12
