Skill Level: Intermediate
Ingredients
- 4 medium russet potatoes, peeled and diced
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- 1/2 cup buffalo wing sauce
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and onion, sautéing until fragrant and the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Add the diced potatoes and chicken broth to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until the potatoes are tender, approximately 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a separate bowl, toss the shredded chicken with the buffalo wing sauce until evenly coated.
- Once the potatoes are tender, use an immersion blender to puree the soup to your desired consistency – smooth or slightly chunky.
- Stir in the heavy cream, shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, and the buffalo chicken. Cook for an additional 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve hot, garnished with chopped green onions and an extra drizzle of buffalo sauce if desired. Enjoy!
Helpful Tips
For an added layer of flavor, try roasting the potatoes before adding them to the soup. If you’re short on time, use pre-cooked rotisserie chicken. For a milder spice level, use less buffalo wing sauce or substitute with a milder hot sauce. Serve with a side of crusty bread or a fresh green salad to complete the meal.
Storage Instructions
Store any leftover soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove over low heat, adding a splash of chicken broth if needed to adjust the consistency.
Suggested Pairings
This Buffalo Chicken Baked Potato Soup pairs wonderfully with a crisp, cold beer or a refreshing iced tea. To round out your meal, consider serving a side of garlic bread or a light Caesar salad.
