Stove top directions:
Heat oil in a large stock pot over medium-high heat. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, 5 minutes. Mix in garlic and cook 1 more minute.
Mix in chicken broth, chicken, heavy cream, buffalo sauce, salt, and pepper.
Bring soup to a boil. Reduce heat to medium low and let simmer 20 minutes.

When freezing leftover soup, it’s important that it reaches room temperature. Once cooled down, pour it into your desired freezer-safe container (like a freezer bag or a mason jar), and freeze for up to 3 months.
When reheating the soup from the freezer, allow it to thaw in its container. Then, pour it into a saucepan and let it reheat over medium heat.
