The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.

crock pot notes
Crock pots/slow cookers all heat differently. There is no standard among manufacturers. Cooking times are suggested guidelines based on our testing. Please adjust cooking times and temps to work with your brand and model of slow cooker.recipe tips
For extra creaminess, use half-and-half or heavy cream instead of all milk.
Adjust the amount of hot sauce to taste.
Top the soup with crumbled blue cheese or chopped green onions for added flavor.
Consider adding a dollop of ranch dressing or blue cheese dressing on top for more authentic Buffalo chicken flavor.
Try adding cheese like cheddar or mozzarella for a cheesy variation.
Try adding a sprinkle of paprika or cayenne pepper for an extra kick.
common recipe questions
What is the best type of hot sauce to use in Buffalo chicken soup?
Frank's RedHot sauce is a popular choice for an authentic Buffalo flavor, but you can use any hot sauce you prefer.
Can I use a different protein instead of chicken?
You can substitute shredded cooked turkey, pork, or even chickpeas for a vegetarian option.
How can I make this soup less spicy?
To reduce the heat, you can decrease the amount of hot sauce or use a milder version.
Can I use a different soup?
Cream of chicken soup matches the other flavors best but you can use another cream soup if desired.
Can I add vegetables to the soup?
Diced carrots, celery, or bell peppers can be added for extra texture and nutrition. You'll want to cook them first since the soup doesn't require a long cooking time.
How can I store leftovers?
Refrigerate any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave.
Can I freeze the soup?
Yes, this soup freezes well. Allow it to cool completely, then freeze in freezer-safe containers for up to 3 months.
How can I adjust the thickness of the soup?
If you prefer a thicker consistency, mix cornstarch with a small amount of cold water and stir it into the soup. Allow it to simmer until thickened.
tools needed
Medium to Large Crock Pot: For cooking and combining the soup, milk, shredded chicken, hot sauce, and sour cream. A medium to large crock pot allows for enough space for all the ingredients to heat up and meld together.
Can Opener: For opening the cans of condensed cream of chicken soup before adding them to the crock pot (if they aren't the pop-top kind).
Measuring Cups: For measuring out the milk, hot sauce, etc needed for the recipe.
what goes with it?
Blue Cheese Crostini: The tangy richness of blue cheese is the perfect companion to the spicy kick of the buffalo sauce in the soup.
Jalapeno Cornbread: Spice things up even more with some jalapeno cornbread on the side. The subtle heat and sweetness of the cornbread will complement the bold flavors of the soup.
Garlic Croutons: The savory garlic flavor will add an extra dimension to the creamy soup.

I'm not sure I'd call this buffalo chicken wing soup, but it's good. The hot sauce gave it lots of flavor but the sour cream and chicken soup sort of subdued it so it wasn't overly hot. I could see adding dumplings to this or something for some bulk because it's a very soupy soup.

This was a good base to the soup. I think next time I'll add corn, rice, or something. Definitely green onions would be good - and celery. I added extra hot sauce this time around (because I could drink that stuff - so yummy!). Tonight, i'm going to tear up a baguette and place it in the bottom of the bowls and pour the soup over it. It's a really great base!
