Let’s talk about soup for a minute… I lOVE soup, I will eat it all year long but let’s face it, there is nothing quite like a warm bowl of soup on a chilly fall/winter day and dare I say this delicious buffalo chicken soup has we wanting the cool fall days to hurry up and get here! This recipe might just be my new favorite and I’m excited about all the portions I stocked up in the freezer. It is easy to make and to my fellow buffalo chicken lovers this one sure does have a kick to it, but if you like less spicy just use less franks. I used my zero point ranch dressing recipe to keep the points low, makes 12 servings at just 1 smart point each on WW freestyle.
