Buffalo Chicken Soup

Chicken soup is good. It is good for cold nights and it is good for your soul. It's comforting and delicious, I love it. But I have never quite heard of buffalo chicken soup. There is a lot of ingredients in this one and I have never heard of Xanthan gum before. I wouldn't know where to purchase this either, any ideas?

INGREDIENTS

1 2-1/4 to 2-1/2 lb. deli-roasted chicken, skinned, boned, and coarsely shredded
2 Tbsp. butter (unsalted)
1/2 cup coarsely chopped celery
1/2 cup chopped onion
2 14-oz. cans reduced-sodium chicken broth
1-1/2 cups Skim milk
1 Tbsp. bottled hot pepper sauce
1-1/2 cups mozzarella cheese (6 oz.)
1-1/4 cups crumbled blue cheese (5 oz.)
1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese (2 oz.)
3/4 tsp Xanthan Gum
Bottled hot pepper sauce (optional)

DIRECTIONS

1. In 4-quart Dutch oven melt butter over medium heat. Add celery and onion; cook and stir until onion is tender. Stir in broth, milk, and the 1 tablespoon hot pepper sauce.

2. In bowl toss together mozzarella, 1 cup of the blue cheese, Parmesan, and xanthan gum. Add gradually to soup, stirring after each addition just until melted. Stir in three-fourths of the shredded chicken; heat through. Top with remaining chicken, blue cheese, and hot sauce. Makes 6 servings.
