    You might think it strange that this Buffalo Chicken Soup contains white beans. My plan for this recipe was to create a buffalo chicken chili. It was clear as it was getting closer to serve that this was not a chili but a soup. I'm leaving the beans in though. I mean, why not, right?

    How To Make Buffalo Chicken Soup

    (scroll down for recipe card)

     

    First, saute the veggies.

    Next, add the chicken. Season with ranch packet.

    Add in tomatoes and broth and pressure cook.

    Once the pressure is up, release it.

    Shred the chicken.

    Add beans and cornstarch/water mixture to thicken. Return chicken to pot.

    Sprinkle in some cheese, top with desired toppings and serve.

    If you really hate beans, you can leave them out. But, why not give them a try? You might surprise yourself.

    Can This Soup Be Made On The Stove Top?

    Yes!

    You can make it on the stovetop with the same instructions, the only difference would be, instead of "pressure cooking", you'd want to simmer your chicken until it's cooked through. 

    You could even use rotisserie chicken or leftover chicken to make it easier and just toss it in at the end.

    Can I use boneless chicken breasts instead of thighs?

    Yes!

    Cook time will be the same. It's a personal preference. You can choose breasts or thighs.... there's a joke in there somewhere....

      How much Buffalo seasoning does this soup use? I didn't see any in the ingredients list.

        Oh my gosh! I knew I was rushing this post, but it was so good, I had to share! I used about 1/3 C. It can be increased if you prefer a spicier sauce. 1/3 C was good for the family. Sorry about that and thanks for letting me know. I've edited!
