This soup is great! I've made this twice now as written, except for leaving out the celery. The only reason I didn't give it 4 stars is because I found that the recipe actually only makes half of what it says. I have to double everything to get 3 man-size bowls.

I gave this recipe 3 stars. Just what I was looking for a chicken wing soup recipe. I was in my gastric bypass group and they were talking about chicken wing soup and it was on my mind so I was tickled to find this recipe. My future hubby and I liked this it was really good. My 5 yr old newphew said it was yucky. I made a few changes to the recipe. First I had no cooked chicken so I fryed in a bit of water 3 chicken thighs. I used the same pot to make my soup without draining the grease and I scraped the bottom of the pot to pick the bits off. Second I took the advice of Jonseygiggles and added 1/2 cup more chicken broth. I used Ken's chicken wing marinade sauce. Also since I have a 5 yr old newphew and just had gasric bypass july 25, 2008 I left out the cayenne pepper and the salt to as this didn't need it. I didn't have crumbled blue cheese so I drizzled on Ken's chunky blue cheese dressing over our bowls. Tasted just like chicken wings dipped in blue cheese. Yum! Overall we will have this again. Thanks for posting a good recipe. Christine (internetnut)

This soup was outstanding! I made it for my girlfriends and all I heard round the table was how good it was, how the husbands and boyfriends would enjoy it! I had the same recipe as Wildflour so I didn't post. I had never made it before this weekend and I knew we would be out and about a hot hearty soup would be appreciated. When making it I found I was out of Cayenne so I used some maybe a 1/2 tsp of hot chili powder and I added NO extra salt--wasn't needed. The wing sauce I used was Cookies and because I doubled the recipe I used about 3/4c of wing sauce. I may have added about another 1/2c of broth too. We didn't fuss with the blue cheese or celery...next time I make it I will serve either breadsticks or crusty french bread. Very filling, very satisfying, pretty easy to make and definately one to make again and share with friends! Jonesy
