📝 Preparation Steps
1
Heat a large soup pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
2
Once the pot is hot, add the butter and swirl to melt.
butter1 tablespoon
3
Add in the onion, carrots, and celery and saute until soft (about ⏱️ 5 minutes).
medium onion (diced)1Green onions or chives (optional)medium carrots (peeled and diced)2
4
Add the garlic and saute until fragrant (⏱️ 30-60 seconds).
garlic (minced)2 cloves
5
Immediately pour in the chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits on the bottom of the pot with a wooden spoon.
chicken broth (low-sodium)6 cups
6
Nestle the chicken breasts into the broth, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
7
Top with a lid and cook for ⏱️ 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through with a minimum internal temperature of 165ºF (74ºC). Flip the chicken breasts halfway through to help promote even cooking. Note: Larger breasts will take longer, and smaller breasts will be done more quickly. Internal temperature is the best indicator.
8
Remove the cooked chicken to a plate or clean cutting board and shred it with two forks (or a hand mixer).
9
Meanwhile, add in the cayenne pepper sauce, ranch seasoning, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Stir well.
Worcestershire sauce1 teaspoon
10
Cube the cream cheese, then add it to the pot. Let it rest for ⏱️ 3-5 minutes, then stir to melt the cream cheese into the soup.
cream cheese (brick style, softened)8 ounces
11
Return the chicken to the pot and reduce the heat to medium; simmer for ⏱️ 5-10 minutes, or until slightly thickened. Note: The soup will thicken further as it cools.
12
Add in the shredded cheddar cheese and stir until melted. Cook for an additional ⏱️ 2-3 minutes.
13
Taste and adjust salt, pepper, and spiciness* to your preference.
14
Serve by ladling the soup into bowls and adding your desired toppings (blue cheese crumbles, chopped green onions, crushed tortilla chips, Doritos, etc).
