Ingredients

  • 4 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
  • 32 ounces low -sodium chicken broth
  • 8 ounces full -fat cream cheese, softened and cubed
  • 3/4 cup buffalo wing sauce (e.g., Frank's RedHot)
  • 1 cup bottled ranch dressing
  • 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup finely diced celery

Instructions

  • Combine the chicken broth and diced celery in a large heavy-bottomed pot. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a simmer for 8 minutes or until the celery is tender.
  • Lower the heat to medium-low. Add the cubed cream cheese and ranch dressing to the pot. Whisk continuously until the cream cheese has completely melted and the liquid base is emulsified and smooth.
  • Integrate the buffalo wing sauce and the shredded rotisserie chicken into the creamy base.
  • Allow the mixture to simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent the dairy from scorching on the bottom of the pot.
  • Gradually add the shredded cheddar cheese in small handfuls, stirring after each addition until the cheese is fully incorporated and the soup has reached a thickened consistency.
  • Remove from heat immediately once the cheese is melted to maintain the emulsion. Serve warm.
