    If buffalo wings could be made into soup form, this is it!

    Chicken. Spice. Celery. Blue Cheese.

    Seriously. Yum!

    I decided to double this recipe…some for us to enjoy at home, and some to take a potluck this past week. I only made a slight change to the recipe that I served my family…I added half as much of the red hot pepper sauce. I didn’t want the kids to complain, or have red hot lips and tongues. And I took another pot to a potluck, made as directed.

    There was nothing. And I mean nothing left in the pot. I brought a little tub of blue cheese and printed out a simple instruction card so people would know to add a spoonful (or two, or three) of blue cheese to their little bowl.

    I will be making this again for the Super Bowl…it’s seriously like wings in a bowl! And would be perfect for game day…or any weeknight for that matter!

      love getting your daily emails and can’t wait to test out the spicy chicken chili. I might have to switch up the menu to get it in this weekend.

      I’m an email subscriber. Hmmmm decisions, decisions, I think bean enchilada casserole sounds yummy, and is a must try.

      Rosemary Pot Roast would be a favorite because I love anything in the slow cooker and my family loves pot roast!

      The Teriyaki beef bowl looks fabulous as does the buffalo chicken soup. I think I’ll try them both. 🙂
