• salt and ground black pepper to taste
• 2 cups chicken broth

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Melt butter in a large pot over medium-high heat. Saute celery and onion in melted butter until tender, about 5 minutes.

Step 2

Sprinkle flour over the celery mixture; cook and stir until the flour absorbs into the butter, about 2 minutes.

Step 3

Stream chicken broth, water, and half-and-half into the flour mixture while stirring; add chicken, Cheddar cheese, buffalo wing sauce, and tomato soup. Bring mixture to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the cheese has melted completely into the liquid, about 10 minutes.
