Ingredients
- 1 Tbsp. olive oil
- 1 Tbsp. butter
- 1/2 medium yellow onion, chopped
- 2 stalks celery, chopped
- 2 medium carrots, peeled and chopped
- 1 Tbsp. flour
- 1 1-oz. packet Hidden Valley Ranch Seasoning
- 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 1/4 cup Frank's RedHot original sauce
- 1 1/2 lbs. boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 8 oz. cream cheese, softened
- salt and pepper, to taste
- crumbled blue cheese, optional
- scallions, chopped, optional
Instructions
- Add oil and butter to a large soup pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Cook the onions, celery and carrots for 7 minutes, stirring often.
- Stir in the flour and ranch seasoning, followed by the chicken broth and Frank's RedHot.
- Add the chicken breasts to the pot. Increase the heat to a boil. Once the soup comes to a boil, reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover the pot slightly and let the chicken cook for 12 minutes. If the chicken isn't fully submerged, flip the pieces halfway through cooking.
- Take the chicken out of the pot. Meanwhile add the cream cheese to the soup and mix until incorporated. Cut up or shred the chicken and add to the pot.
- If the chicken isn't fully cooked, let it cook a few more minutes. Season the soup with salt and pepper. Ladle into bowls and top with blue cheese crumbles and chopped scallions.
Notes
The only thing I did different with this recipe was to shred my cooked chicken instead cutting it up into pieces. I added my cooked chicken breasts to my stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and mixed the chicken on medium speed until it was shredded to my liking.
I added the crumbled blue cheese and chopped scallions to the top of each bowl as garnish. It looks nice and gives extra flavor.
