Creamy Buffalo Chicken and Rice Soup

Langkah-langkah

1. Heat oil in a large stockpot over medium-high heat. Add onion and sauté for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the carrots, celery, garlic and sauté for 2 to 3 more minutes, stirring frequently, until the garlic is fragrant.
2. Add the chicken stock, chicken, rice, hot sauce and stir to combine. Continue cooking until the soup reaches a simmer. Reduce heat to medium-low to maintain the simmer. Cover and continue cooking for 15 minutes or until the rice is cooked and tender, stirring the soup every 3-5 minutes or so to ensure that the rice does not stick to the bottom of the pot.
3. Add the cream cheese and stir until it is completely melted and combined. Give the soup a taste and season with salt and pepper, as needed. And feel free to also add in more hot sauce and/or cream cheese if you would like to make the soup more spicy or creamy.
4. Serve warm, garnished with lots of cheese, green onions and bacon bits. Enjoy!
