Jonathan has been asking me to make Buffalo Chicken Chowder since I’m home. I guess he gave up on me because he made it today. Way to go, kid.
This recipe was simplified because we didn’t have everything it asked for. Here’s our version.
Crazy Buffalo Chicken Soup
An innovative way to chop onions without crying. I’m not sure about it’s success rate.
Buffalo Chicken Soup
Jonathan raised his eyebrows at the first taste. “It causes nice second degree burns in the back of the throat. It’s a good pain.” :]

- 1 cup celery, cut into small pieces
- 1 cup carrot, cut into small pieces

- Add the garlic and flour and cook until fragrant, about a minute.
- Add the chicken broth and deglaze the pan.
