Ingredients

• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 2 medium carrots, peeled and diced
• 2 medium celery stalks, diced
• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 6 cups chicken broth
• 3 cups cooked shredded chicken breast
• 0.66 cup Frank's RedHot Sauce (or preferred hot sauce)
• 8 ounces cream cheese, softened and cubed
• 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 stalks green onions, sliced (for garnish)
• 0.25 cup blue cheese crumbles (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the diced onion, carrots, and celery. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are softened.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir well to coat. Cook for 1-2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste.

Step 5

Slowly whisk in the chicken broth, ensuring there are no lumps of flour.

Step 6

Bring the mixture to a simmer, then add the cooked shredded chicken and hot sauce. Stir to combine.

Step 7

Reduce the heat to low and add the cream cheese cubes. Stir continuously until the cream cheese is completely melted and incorporated into the soup.

Step 8

Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, heavy cream, salt, and pepper. Continue cooking over low heat until the soup is heated through, about 5 minutes.

Step 9

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

Step 10

Serve hot, garnished with sliced green onions and blue cheese crumbles, if desired. Enjoy with crusty bread or crackers for dipping!
