I turned this into a crock pot dish, using a mix of frozen skinless, boneless breasts and thighs. Threw the frozen chicken in the crockpot after briefly cooking the onions and celery in the butter. Added the stock, water, milk and seasonings. Let it go for about 5 hours, shredded the chicken in the pot and headed out to class. Came home, added the cheese, Franks and flour that I made into a slurry before adding. Another 15 minutes and it was perfect, thick and creamy. I used lower fat Velveta and skim milk and it still had wonderfull creamy flavor. The spice level was great for us, as we are heat junkies in this house. This is a definite keeper! Thanks for posting.

Awesome soup! I did use b/s chicken thighs and diced them prior to cooking. The 1/2 cup of hot sauce sounds like a lot, but it's not over powering at all. It's pleasantly spicy. I garnished the soup with extra chopped scallions and crumbled blue cheese...... because what would buffalo chicken be without blue cheese? Thanx for sharing!

Tasty! Added a bit more flour to thicken it up.

I REALLY REALLY REALLY like this soup. Hot wings are one of my favorite appetizers but I always feels so guilty eating them. I left out the cayenne because my DH can't take food as hot as I can. In the end I was glad I left it out as it was perfectly spicy. I think you have to use Frank's wing sauce.

This was alright for me. I think for my tastes maybe I needed more flavor added. I used chicken breasts instead of thighs and had to put in more cheese and flour to thicken it because it was a little thin for me. My bf really liked it. I liked it at first but when I kept eating it, it started to get a little boring for me. I mixed in some fresh blue cheese with some chive sour cream and dolloped some on top of the soup. I looove chicken wings! So I was hoping that I would really like it. It was a good soup and very filling. Just wasnt one of my favorites. Thanks for the recipe!
