The ultimate Sunday soup- a collaboration between a comfort meal and a Sunday football classic to wind down from the weekend.
Buffalo Chicken Soup!
This soup has the option to turn up the heat with a spicier buffalo sauce or stick to a mild buffalo sauce.
To keep this buffalo chicken soup low carb you only use ½ cup of gluten free noodles in the entire soup.
Tips:
Rather than lugging home chicken broth from the store, I always keep a small container of 'better than boullion' in the fridge and mix that with boiling water for an easy broth.
If you don't have all the spices on hand, try using a packet of ranch seasoning instead to give you all those buffalo ranch flavors!
