I dream of Buffalo chicken when I sleep. I know, sounds a little crazy right? But I absolutely crave the spicy kick from the Buffalo sauce. Since winter is all about soups in my house, I decided to turn my love for Buffalo chicken into a cozy soup I can slurp from a spoon.
This will soon be your favorite winter soup. That might sound presumptuous, but I promise, it’s just me being honest. Each sip has an incredible spice and with the perfect mix-ins of chicken, celery, carrots and cheese. And to top it all off, it’s garnished with a fluffy steamed dumpling. Comfort food in a whole new way.
