Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add diced celery, carrots, and minced garlic and sauté for 5 minutes until softened.
Add chicken breasts to the pot and pour in chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 20 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.
Remove the chicken breasts from the pot and shred them using two forks.
Return shredded chicken to the pot, stir in buffalo sauce and heavy cream. Simmer for another 5 minutes.
Season the soup with salt and black pepper to taste. Stir in sliced green onions.
Serve hot, garnished with blue cheese crumbles and extra green onions if desired.
Notes
For a spicier kick, add more buffalo sauce or a dash of cayenne pepper. This soup pairs wonderfully with a side of crusty bread or celery sticks.
