Buffalo Chicken Soup for the Soul

IMG_3103

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!
