Keto Buffalo Chicken Soup Recipe


Hip tips for making this keto buffalo chicken soup recipe:

  • We used pre-cooked rotisserie chicken for convenience, but you can always use leftover chicken or cook chicken specifically for the soup. In fact, you can even make this as a one-pot pressure-cooker meal!
  • The Frank’s hot sauce balances out the amount of heavy cream, but if you’re concerned about the soup becoming too spicy, just add in a little less hot sauce to accommodate your family’s desired level of heat.
  • We tripled this recipe and it turned out fantastic, so if you need to feed a crowd, this comforting soup works out great! If you have leftovers, they heat up really well the next day and will be a zesty reprieve from your usual lunchtime routine!

This soup’s broth turned out AMAZING!

The broth is the real star of this delicious soup. It’s so flavorful and zesty, with the perfect balance of creaminess and heat. Overall, this is a very satisfying meal that will definitely warm you up from the inside out!

Best of all, I loved that this recipe was so darned easy to throw together. It’s perfect as a warm and cozy meal for a cool fall weeknight, or as a flavorful hot lunch option. My family loves buffalo-flavored anything, so I’ll be making this again for them soon.

  1. Cris

    How the carbs, calories, fats and protiens determined for this dish? Carbs seem low for considering the cheese and heavy cream. No protien is listed for a whole chicken.

    • Marley (Sister Sidekick)

      Cris, thank you SO MUCH for bringing this to our attention. Yikes! We updated the recipe card with accurate values.

      • Cris

        Thank you for the update. I can’t wait to make it for dinner tonight.

          It’s been updated within the post. All the values are corrected now, Ellen.

  2. Yona Williams

    Just made this recipe….but halved it because it’s just for me. It is DELICIOUS. I love the combination of flavors!

    • Lina D (Hip2Save Sidekick)

      Oh I’m so happy to hear that!

  3. Brittney Lee

    Can I substitute chicken broth for bone broth? TIA

    • Lina D (Hip2Save Sidekick)

      Yes, good question – thanks!

      • Brittney Lee

        Thank you! I love your Copy cat Wendy’s Keto chili!!

        • Lina D (Hip2Save Sidekick)

          oh great! that was written by our talented Marley! She rocks, and I love that recipe too! <3

  4. Amanda

    Great soup! Hubby and I both loved it! *Bonus: great for opening up the sinuses! Thank you!! 🙂

    • Lina D (Hip2Save Sidekick)

      Oh yes!! I bet this soup would do that. Thanks for reporting back!

  5. Brandy

    Does this freeze well? I’m thinking of making for lunches and freezing in serving sizes

    • Lina D (Hip2Save Sidekick)

      Freezing creamy soups can be done but also can be tricky. I usually stick with broth based soups. If you try it though and it separates, I read you can just whisk or place in blender after defrosting to help bring it back to original texture 👍

      • Ruth Hudicek

        I froze it. Defrosted and heated slowly. Added extra veggies. It did not separate and seems even better with the extra veggies. Also, I made the first batch in a crock pot. I would recommend not sautéing the veggies very long if you want to use a slow cooker. The taste is amazing.

    • Vanessa

      I don’t have ranch dressing mix, but I have lots of ranch dressing. How can I substitute the dry mix? Should I eliminate some broth or cream?

      • Jennifer (Hip Sidekick)

        You can add 2 tbsp low-carb ranch dressing from the bottle or just skip the ranch. We have team members who don’t use the ranch at all, Vanessa!

  6. Michelle Armstrong

    Is the ranch dressing the bottled stuff or a package of dry mix?

    • Amber (Hip Sidekick)

      Hi there! For this you would use the dry Ranch mix.

  7. Delyela Bennett

    This was sooooo delish! Also, so easy to make for my family!

    • Lina D (Hip2Save Sidekick)

      Oh I am so glad! Thanks for sharing ❤️

  8. Gloria

    Just made this recipe and it’s delicious 😋!!!

    • Lina D (Hip2Save Sidekick)

      Oh hooray! That’s so great!

  9. Laura Ames

    Thank you for this recipe! I have made it 3 times now. I love that the entire family enjoys it.

    • Lina D (Hip2Save Sidekick)

      Oh yay! That is so wonderful to hear 👏

  10. Sheila Urban

    How much chicken do you use? I have chicken breasts I can cook up.

    • Jennifer (Hip Sidekick)

      You could use 2 – 3 chicken breasts, Sheila Urban!

  11. Rachel

    Delish! We poached the chicken in salt, pepper, garlic powder and white vinegar before shredding it and used the reduced broth for about two cups of the total broth which added a tasty touch. Thanks! This will be a go-to this fall/winter!

    • Angie (Hip2Keto Sidekick)

      Hi Rachel! That sounds devine. Great idea to poach the chicken first.

  12. Cindy

    Hello
    Is there anything I can use to substitute the heavy cream ??

    • Amber (Hip Sidekick)

      Hi Cindy! You could omit or perhaps use full fat coconut cream instead. Hope this helps! 🤗
