Instant Pot Buffalo Chicken Soup is one of my favorite soup recipes, and this is warm and comforting if it’s cold where you are! This is a soup  for people who love the strong flavors of Frank’s Red Hot Sauce and crumbled blue cheese!

If you like hot spicy Buffalo Wings dipped into blue cheese, or any other variation of those Buffalo Chicken flavors, you’re probably going to love this creamy Buffalo Chicken Soup. It did take me a couple of tries testing variations with Jake and Kara to come up with a version of this soup we thought was a total winner. But we loved the final version!

And then after I uploaded the photos, I wished we had ground up the thyme when we added it to the soup. But I decided the flecks of thyme add character to the soup (and the thyme does add wonderful flavor!) So for all the fellow Buffalo Chicken fans, hope you enjoy this soup!

How spicy is this Buffalo Chicken Soup?

I would say this soup is moderately spicy. But here is my advice: You can always add more Frank’s Red Hot Sauce to the finished soup, but you can’t take it out. The amount we ended up with for the recipe made a tasty soup that we thought was just spicy enough, but feel free to use less Frank’s Red Hot Sauce if you’re not sure how much heat you’ll want.

What if you’re not a fan of blue cheese?

If you enjoy Buffalo Chicken flavors but aren’t so big on blue cheese, just top the soup with Parmesan or any grated or crumbled white cheese that you prefer.

What size Instant Pot did I use for this recipe?

I use a 6 Quart Instant Pot (affiliate link) for all my Instant Pot Recipes. Check out my growing collection of Instant Pot Recipes!

How low in carbs is the Buffalo Chicken Soup?

This slightly spicy tasty soup has only 4 net carbs per serving, with 33 grams of protein!

Low-Carb Diet / Low-Glycemic Diet / South Beach Diet Suggestions:
Buffalo Chicken Soup is a good choice for any low-carb or Keto diet. It’s too high in fat to be officially approved for the original South Beach Diet, but if you used reduced fat cream cheese and go easy on the blue cheese it wouldn’t be bad for a treat.

Instant Pot Teriyaki Chicken is delicious, quick and easy to make, and it can be served in a variety of ways! And if you like Asian flavors, you’ll want to make Teriyaki Chicken in the Instant Pot over and over!

PIN the Instant Pot Teriyaki Chicken recipe to try it later!

Instant Pot Teriyaki Chicken is a recipe that was inspired by some cooking experiences from my past! Years ago I learned to make Teriyaki Chicken from a friend who had lived in Hawaii and gotten the recipe there. And that Teriyaki Chicken recipe was delicious (but loaded with sugar) so in the early days of the blog I adapted it into a version of Baked Teriyaki Chicken that was Sugar-Free, replacing the sugar with a low-carb Sweetener.

Kara and I looked at recipes around the web when we decided to try making this favorite chicken dish in the Instant Pot. But it was the perfect easy 5-ingredient sugar-free sauce from that earlier recipe that mostly inspired the Instant Pot Teriyaki Chicken we came up with!

This flavorful chicken only needs four minutes under pressure; then we removed the strips of chicken and broke it apart into chunks while we simmered the sauce. We did thicken the sauce with a teeny-tiny bit of cornstarch, but this is still very low in carbs! If you like Teriyaki flavors, I hope you try it soon.

Is this an authentic Teriyaki Chicken Recipe?

Let me state clearly I have no idea if the recipe I got from my long-ago friend is an authentic recipe for Teriyaki Chicken! But she did get it from a Japanese neighbor, and it has ingredients like soy sauce, garlic, and ginger which are traditional in Teriyaki Chicken. And it doesn’t have some ingredients seen in Americanized versions of this dish.

What Size Instant Pot Did I use to make Teriyaki Chicken?

I use a 6 Quart Instant Pot (affiliate link) for all my Instant Pot Recipes.

What can you serve with the Teriyaki Chicken?

• We made Easy Cauliflower Rice (with garlic and green onion) and served the chicken over that for a rice-bowl meal.
• You could make a rice bowl with Palmini Rice (affiliate link) if you prefer that.
• I would love this chicken over Spicy Cilantro Peanut Slaw for a cabbage bowl meal.
• The Teriyaki Chicken would be delicious served over steamed broccoli or barely-wilted spinach.
• I would gobble it up served over lightly sauteed Zucchini Noodles or served with Air Fryer Asian Green Beans.
• It would be amazing with Stir-Fried Bok Choy.
• And of course you can also serve the chicken over cooked rice, brown rice, or even Quinoa if your diet includes that.
