Buffalo Chicken Soup with Cashew Ranch Dressing
Prep Time
15 minutes
Prep Notes
I love this soup that has all the zing of buffalo chicken wings without frying. I top it with a dairy-free Ranch Dressing and add a bit of turmeric, an anti-inflammatory spice, to add flavor and color! I use an Instant Pot, but you can make this on the stove top as well.

Cooking Time
30 minutes
Yields
6 servings
Ingredients
1 Tbsp olive oil
2 medium carrots, chopped
2 stalks celery, chopped
1/2 onion, chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp turmeric
1 small head cauliflower, cut into small florets, you should have about 4-5 cups*
4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
1 Tbsp sriracha sauce
1/2 tsp salt, or to taste
1/2 tsp pepper, or to taste
1 lb cooked chicken, dark or white meat, shredded with a fork
Cashew Ranch Dressing (see recipe)
Garnish options:
fresh cilantro, chopped
chopped green onions, thinly sliced
Directions
- Set Instant Pot to Saute. Add oil. When oil is hot, add onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté for about 5 minutes or until onions begin to soften. Add garlic and turmeric. Sauté 1-2 minutes more.
- Add the cauliflower florets, chicken broth, sriracha sauce, salt, and pepper.
- Lock the lid in place and set the "soup" function (30 minutes on high pressure.) Once the soup is done cooking, you can let it naturally release or do a quick release.
- Remove lid. Using an immersion blender or conventional blender, blend the soup until smooth.
- Taste and add more salt and pepper or sriracha if desired.
- Add in shredded chicken and stir until mixed. Reheat if necessary.
- Divide soup into individual bowls and serve with a dollop of Ranch Dressing. Top with green onions, extra sriracha, and cilantro, if desired.
Notes
*You can use about 4 cups frozen cauliflower florets in place of the fresh.
