Reader Review

Where to start? This is such an excellent soup! Different, creamy, spicy, flavorful, easy to make. It is so creamy, so good. The picture looked so tempting I had to make it and I am glad I did. It is definitely a different soup and will be a great autumn/winter/early spring dish…well, great any time, really. Ummm, so good. Thanks for the recipe!

How to Make Buffalo Chicken Noodle Soup

This is a brief overview of how easy it is to make this delicious soup. For the full recipe with all of the measurements, see the recipe card at the bottom of the post.

  1. Combine ingredients in the slow cooker. You will ad everything to the crockpot except the heavy cream and the noodles.
  2. Cook on low for three and a half hours.
  3. Add in the noodles. Turn the slow cooker to high and cook the noodles for a half hour.
  4. Shred the chicken. Take the chicken breasts out of the slow cooker and shred them. Then return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker.
  5. Stir in the heavy cream. Then serve topped with blue cheese!

Spice Level

This recipe definitely has a kick to it! If you want to lessen the spice level, I suggest cutting the buffalo sauce down to six ounces. At the end of the cooking time, add in a whole cup of heavy cream instead of 1/2 a cup.

Buffalo Sauce

This Buffalo Sauce sauce is a very easy 10 minute recipe that is perfect for wings, and so many other great Buffalo flavored recipes.

Substitutions and Variations for Buffalo Chicken Noodle Soup

  • Swap the noodles out. If your family doesn’t like egg noodles, you can exchange them for any noodles that you do like.
  • Make this recipe low carb. If you are eating low carb, take out the noodles completely and replace them with more vegetables. Broccoli, zucchini, or more carrots, are a great choice.
  • Make this recipe dairy free. If you have someone in your family that doesn’t eat dairy, an unflavored soy creamer would work great in place of the heavy cream!

  2. Kate @KateMovingForward says

    I guess I just love all your food cause this looks amazing too!

    • Lisa Longley says

      I can’t wait to make this again, Kate!

      • Becca says

        Do you put the chicken in raw? Or cook it first?

        • Lisa Longley says

          Raw Becca. I hope you enjoy it!

  3. Joann says

    This looks so good! It’s in my crockpot right now…can’t wait to have a bowl tonight!!

    • Lisa Longley says

      Did you like it Joann?? I can’t stand the fact that my family doesn’t dig buffalo flavor! I love this soup so much, I could eat it once a week :)

  4. Sarah at the magical slow cooker says

    OMG! My husband is the same way, lol. I LOVE anything buffalo, so I must try this soup soon! Nice to meet you!

    • Lisa Longley says

      Thanks Sarah! I hope you love it!

  5. Sarah Chandler says

    But if you cook with such finesse, I do not think husby would be that picky.

    • Lisa Longley says

      Ah, if only it were that simple Sarah. When he and I met he’d never tried rice before. And he was in his 20’s. Now it’s one of his favorite foods. But I’m certainly not going to cook things for him that he’s tried several times and doesn’t like.

      • Margaret Donohue says

        Lisa, this sounds delicious and I’d like to try it but I’m a bit stumped by “buffalo sauce”. I’m sending from Ontario, Canada and perhaps this is a U.S. staple but not here. What is this?

        • Lisa Longley says

          I use Frank’s Red Hot Buffalo sauce, but buffalo sauce in general is just hot sauce with butter and garlic. There are lots of recipes for it out there, and its definitely worth experimenting to make your own. It’s one of my favorite flavors!

  6. cassandra montgomery says

    This sounds so good……..a must try!!!!

    • Lisa Longley says

      Cassandra, I would eat this once a week if I didn’t live with such picky pickersons :)

  7. Sandy says

    Could I leave the chicken and everything In for longer? Say 8 hrs while I’m at work? Lol! Looks delish, I love ANYTHING buffalo

    • Lisa Longley says

      Hi Sandy! The only parts of this recipe that are sort of time sensitive are the cream and the noodles, so yeah, I definitely think everything else could go for 8 hours. Enjoy!

      • Rayshelle says

        Do the egg noodles go in raw or cooked?

        • Lisa Longley says

          Uncooked

  8. Lindsey says

    Made this tonight!! It was delicious as described. Used a little more cream though to lessen the strength of buffalo flavor. Will make again!!

    • Lisa Longley says

      Lindsey, it’s always so great to hear when someone liked one of my recipes! Thank you!!

  9. Jen says

    Made this tonight. As I am counting calories, I am curious what a serving size is? I know you say it serves 6, but it would be nice to know without measuring how much it made and then deciding by 6. Thanks.

    • Lisa Longley says

      Hi Jen! I’m counting calories too, and I love that this is only about 270 or something per serving. Unfortunately, I don’t know the exact amount of a serving. I just gestimated that I could get six bowls out of it, and that was about right.

  10. Kelsey Jo says

    This *just* finished cooking and I love it so much I had to tell you right away!! Easy & delicious recipe! I think most soups are even better the next day which will make this the perfect dish for Super Bowl!

    • Lisa Longley says

      I’m so happy to hear you like it Kelsey Jo! It always makes my day when people come back to say they enjoyed a recipe!
