Buffalo Chicken Soup - Buffalo Wings in Liquid Form

Am I the only one who thinks it is strange to pay millions of dollars to men who run around on a field kicking/throwing/catching a ball, and yet we pay our teachers peanuts to tutor and care for the rising generation of Americans??? It just doesn’t make any sense to me.

But, here’s what I do love: I do love getting together with friends and family. And I do love eating waaaay too many calories of decadence. I do love a steamy, spicy bowl of soup on a winter day. And I love the flavors of Buffalo Wings. A few years ago, I even made a pilgrimage to the Anchor Bar in Buffalo, New York, where Buffalo Wings were invented.

So to me it seemed a natch to make a soup that has those flavors all in one bowl. Hence, Buffalo Chicken Soup.

This soup is actually good for you if you use low fat Greek yogurt in place of sour cream.

It is so good, it’s even worth watching a little football on the side.

In a large stockpost, saute celery and onions over medium high heat for 3 to 5 minutes, until softened.
