Equipment
- large soup pot
- can opener
- wooden spoon
Ingredients
- 2 cups shredded chicken
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 14 oz can fire roasted diced tomatoes
- 1 14 oz can navy beans drained and rinsed
- 2 cups frozen corn
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp celery seed (not celery salt)
- 2 tbsp ranch seasoning (one packet)
- ½ tsp kosher salt (if using table salt, use less)
- ¼ cup buffalo sauce (I like this one or this one)
- 4 oz cream cheese
Instructions
- Note: You will want to use soften cream cheese for this recipe to prevent clumps and give soup a nice, silky broth, so leave it on counter for approx 30 mins before you start cooking.
- In a large pot over medium heat, add 4 cups of chicken broth, 1 can fire roasted tomatoes, 1 can navy beans (drained and rinsed). Bring just to a simmer.
- Stir in 2 cups shredded chicken, 2 cups of corn (I use frozen corn, no need to thaw it), 1 packet (2 Tbsp) Ranch seasoning, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp, onion powder, 1/2 tsp celery seed, 1/2 tsp salt (Note: I use coarse salt. If using table salt, use less).
- Add 1/4 cup -1/2 cup of buffalo sauce depending on how much spice you'd like. Note: I use 1/4 cup when making it for my family so it's not too overpowering for the kids. Let simmer 5 minutes.
- Grab 4oz soften cream cheese and cut into smaller cubes to help it melt. Note: if you didn't leave it on counter to soften, simply pop it in the microwave (transfer from foil wrap to a microwave safe dish before microwaving). Stir the cream cheese.
- Continue simmering while stirring often until the cheese is melted into the soup.
- Ladle into bowls and serve hot.
