Creamy Buffalo Wing Soup
Based on the popular appetizer, Buffalo Wing Soup has loads of flavor, tender chicken and even a few vegetables. Perfect for game day or any day. 
What appetizer is so good it can double as an entrée? And please both kids and adults. That’s right, it’s Buffalo Wings. Juicy and flavorful, it’s a sure crowd pleaser.
Yes, I remember the time we decided to do an easy, inexpensive dinner and took the family to a local bar for $.50 wings. While the kids played cornhole, Dad snacked on wings, then got seconds, then some more. Before I knew it, the tab was higher than a full dinner out.
That’s when I realized that wings are pretty irresistible!
Mmmm!
Which is what I was counting on when I decided to turn the concept into Buffalo Wing Soup to serve for Game Day meals. Can’t get too much of a good flavor combo!
Besides great flavor, I also wanted my soup to be as unprocessed as possible. So the only commercial product in here is the wing sauce (not counting leftover rotisserie chicken if you go that route). And it is still super easy.
Garnish with chopped onions and extra blue cheese
I chopped all the vegetables (except the corn) in the food processor which was quick and easy. And while, technically, wings don’t have vegetables in them, they are often served with dipping vegetables like carrots and celery. So being famous for my “add a veggie” recipes, I couldn’t pass up the addition.
My final comment is on the wing sauce. Everyone’s taste varies, as does the heat in different sauces. So I’m going to suggest that you start by adding a smaller amount of sauce and go up to taste. The version I’m sharing was mild enough so my husband would eat it, but still had enough kick for me.
A bite!
Now I must confess that my spice-hating husband was hesitant to try my new Buffalo Wing Soup. Not that I’ve ever snuck in a hot recipe on him. But in the end, he like it so much he finished up all the leftovers before I knew it.
I guess there’s more Buffalo Wing Soup in our future.

I like your addition of vegetables, the soup sounds terrific.
I love this idea! So unique and it looks tasty and awesome! Love the veggies you added too! My husband will love this recipe!
Buffalo wings are always a crowd pleaser! Turning it into a soup is such a clever idea. My family, with the exception of my son, would love this!! He doesn’t like the concept of soup. I sometimes question if he is really mine
Ooops! Clicked published too quickly. Needed to add this to the end of the above comment 🙂
I love the twist you brought to wing day, and I am dying to try this soup. It looks for healthier than traditional Buffalo wings. I need to get into the add a veggie habit.
What a great buffalo wing twist! This soup sounds incredible!
What a clever take on wings!!! Love your story about the restaurant bill too!
We are the opposite in this house. Dave likes the heat and I don’t.
This is a really fun idea! Can we still have it even if we never plan to watch the game? 😉
Alright, I admit it. Didn’t eat this for a game. But I do plan to eat it again for a game 🙂
Okay, I am jealous of the creativity you have shown with serving up soup for wing day. Way to go!!
Thanks Wendy. It’s been on my list for awhile, so I was happy to get the push!
