Wings + Soup = Winner
We love soup! Some of my favorites include this cheesy potato and this chicken tortilla soup – so many great ones.
Well, I have a new soup to add to my go-to list, and if you’re a fan of buffalo sauce and chicken wings, you’ll want to add this to your list too! Today’s tried and true recipe, my personal favorite, is this Buffalo Chicken Soup!
This soup is simple in ingredients, yet full of flavour! You can increase the spice by adding more wing paste, or reduce it by adding less. I personally like my food spicy and could have eaten more, but even a ÂĽ cup is delicious! It really tastes like buffalo wings in soup form!

Changes + Tips
Want to change it? Here are some ideas…
- Serve with some baguettes and dip in the soup to cool off a bit.

- Use chicken thighs or chicken breasts or a mixture of both. Thighs will provide more fat from dark meat, but breasts will be a leaner option.
- Mix it up a bit, then use a different type of cheese like Colby Jack or 3 mix Mexican cheese.
