Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1/4 cup finely diced carrot
  • 1/4 cup finely diced onion
  • 1/4 cup finely diced celery
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 10 ounce can Rotel diced tomatoes with green chiles
  • 1/4 cup Buffalo wing sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 8 ounces cream cheese
  • 2 cups cooked and shredded chicken breasts or thighs
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • blue cheese crumbles
  • bacon

Instructions
 

  • Butter Melting: Start by melting butter in a large pot. Proceed to add celery, onion, and carrots into the pot, cooking them until they're tender, particularly ensuring the carrots are fully softened.
  • Adding Liquids and Spices: Into the pot with softened vegetables, pour in chicken broth and add the undrained can of diced tomatoes with green chiles. Mix in the Buffalo wing sauce for that tangy kick, along with garlic powder and onion powder for depth of flavor. Stir everything well to ensure it's fully combined.
  • Incorporate Cream Cheese: Drop softened cream cheese into the mix. Over a medium-low heat setting, whisk the mixture steadily until the cream cheese blends in seamlessly, achieving a smooth and creamy consistency.
  • Cheese and Chicken: Dial down the heat to low. Add in the shredded cheddar cheese and the cooked, shredded chicken. Continue to stir the pot until the cheese has melted thoroughly into the soup. Season with salt and pepper to your liking.
  • Garnishing and Serving: Once the soup is ready, consider garnishing each serving with blue cheese crumbles or bacon bits for an added layer of flavor. This step is optional but recommended for an enhanced dining experience.
