Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground chicken
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper
  • 1 onion chopped
  • ¾ cup carrots chopped
  • ¾ cup celery chopped
  • 1 packet Ranch seasoning mix
  • 3 cups chicken broth low sodium
  • ½ cup Buffalo sauce
  • 10 ounce can fire roasted tomatoes
  • 15 ounce can corn drained
  • 15 ounce can beans drained
  • 8 ounce cream cheese cubed and softened

Instructions

  • Take cream cheese out of the refrigerator to bring to room temperature.
  • In a large Dutch oven, brown the chicken. Season chicken with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Cook, breaking up the ground chicken for about 5 minutes.
  • Add onions, celery, and carrots to the pot with a little olive oil or butter. Cook on medium-high heat until the vegetables are softened, about 5-8 minutes.
  • Add the Ranch seasoning packet and cook on medium heat for about one minute longer.
  • Add chicken stock, corn, beans, tomatoes, and Buffalo sauce to the pot. Bring to a boil then reduce heat to a simmer. Simmer uncovered for 30 minutes.
  • Turn off the heat and slowly add in cubes of room temperature cream cheese. Stir chili until all cream cheese is melted.

Notes

  • Depending on the level of spice you want, you can add or subtract the amount of Buffalo sauce you use. Lowing the amount of cream cheese you add will increase the spice level.
  • You can substitute ground turkey instead of chicken.
  • Use your favorite beans. Some of my favorites while testing this soup were black, kidney, or white beans.
  • Optional toppings: blue cheese and scallions
