Buffalo Chicken Soup

 

My dear hubby was craving Buffalo wings and I said NO WAY, José!

But being the loving wife that I am, I compromised and made him this healthy Buffalo Chicken Soup. Guess what?! He LOVED it! It totally satisfied his naughty craving and left him full (without that gross deep fried, sticky finger feeling).
