This Keto Buffalo Chicken Soup is the ultimate cold-weather comfort meal. It’s creamy, cheesy, and spicy in just the right way — think buffalo wings, but in soup form.
The base is smooth and rich, made with cream cheese, heavy cream, and cheddar for that perfect velvety texture. Then comes the buffalo sauce, which adds a tangy kick that warms you up instantly. The shredded chicken makes it hearty and satisfying, while a sprinkle of green onions and crumbled bacon on top takes it over the edge.
It’s fast, foolproof, and ridiculously flavorful. The best part? You only need one pot, and it’s ready in under 30 minutes. Perfect for weeknights, meal prep, or when you need a little spice in your keto life.
