Ingredients

  • ¼ cup butter

  • 3 stalks celery, diced

  • 1 small onion, diced

  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour

  • 2 cups chicken broth

  • 1 cup water

  • ¾ cup half-and-half

  • 2 cups cubed, cooked chicken

  • 1 ½ cups shredded Cheddar cheese

  • cup buffalo wing sauce, or more to taste

  • ¼ cup creamy tomato soup

  • salt and ground black pepper to taste

  • ¼ cup crumbled blue cheese, or as needed

Directions

  1. Melt butter in a large pot over medium-high heat. Saute celery and onion in melted butter until tender, about 5 minutes.

  2. Sprinkle flour over the celery mixture; cook and stir until the flour absorbs into the butter, about 2 minutes.

  3. Stream chicken broth, water, and half-and-half into the flour mixture while stirring; add chicken, Cheddar cheese, buffalo wing sauce, and tomato soup. Bring mixture to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the cheese has melted completely into the liquid, about 10 minutes.

  4. Ladle soup into 8 bowls. Top each serving with blue cheese crumbles to serve.
