BBQ Chicken Soup - 52 Soup Recipes


I keep saying a new favorite soup, but this certainly became a new favorite the minute I tried it.  All those summer BBQ tastes, the sauce, chicken, sweet corn, onions... all with a delicious complex broth.  I served this night of Halloween.  We sit at the bottom of our drive way along with a couple of other neighbors and make a small event of handing out candy.  This soup kept the chill out.  The little extra heat from Cajun SPices, BBQ sauce and a few drops of hot sauce kept us toasty warm inside.

If I were serving this inside I would have added a dollop of Sour Cream.  Next time I may add a few more vegetables (Green Peppers, Celery).  But as is, it was fantastic.  Hearty warming and delicious.  The BBQ sauce flavored broth was exactly what I wanted...

  2. This soup sounds good and I have a bunch of smoked chicken in the freezer.

    If you like the regular Durkee or French's fried onion rings, try a brand called something like Loeb's Onion Crunch. They are smaller pieces but so much crispier and tastier. I don't know what they do different but they are my favorite, great for sprinkling on soups, salads and burgers.
