"Ready, Set, Cook! Hidden Valley Contest Entry. My boyfriend loves buffalo wings, personally, they are a little messy for me so I decided to take classic Chicken Tortilla soup and make it buffalo chicken soup. It is a crowd favorite around my house now!"

ingredients

3 chicken breasts
1 (1 ounce) package Hidden Valley Original Ranch Dressing Mix
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 shallots
2 garlic cloves, minced
3 tablespoons dried chives
32 ounces low sodium chicken broth
¹⁄₄ cup hot sauce
¹⁄₃ cup cheddar cheese
¹⁄₄ cup parmesan cheese
green onion
1 avocado
cilantro

directions

Cook your chicken, or use a rotisserie chicken and shred it.
In a sauce pan, saute your shallots and garlic in the olive oil for about 5 minutes. Then in your large pot add in stock, ranch mix, chives, buffalo sauce (I use Franks), shallots and garlic, and chicken. Bring to a simmer and then grate in the cheese stirring constantly. Bring to a boil, then reduce and let simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring every so often.
Serve soup and top with avocado, cilantro, and green onions.
It is hearty enough that you can make a big bowl full for dinner or you can make a smaller bowl and serve it with grilled cheese . I love this soup. Really easy and yummy! Enjoy.
