This Crock Pot Buffalo Chicken Chili is one of best soups I have ever had. It is tangy and full of flavor! It definitely feels like winter here in Florida now and I have total soup season vibes. We reached below freezing temperatures over the week of Christmas and I felt like I was back in Colorado! We were NOT prepared for this cold front to say the least. Pipes froze, our outdoor plants died, and we did not have the right clothes!! Anyways, I have make soup this entire week and this one is a must try. It is great for busy weeks, because you can just toss everything in the crock pot and go! Each serving has a whopping 43 grams of protein can you believe it?! It is also gluten free and low carb.
