Buffalo Chicken Soup for the Soul
Want a bite? I know you do. It’s been quite some time since I shared something of the buffalo chicken variety. This soup is thick and creamy, but it’s actually dairy free. The creaminess is achieved with cauliflower puree and a touch of coconut milk. And of course the Frank’s gives it a kick! It’s healthy and satisfyingly hearty, another buffalo chicken winner for sure!
