A big bowl of this Creamy Tomato Chipotle Soup makes the perfect dinner for a cold evening. It’s easily a meal in itself, but I dare you to serve it next to your favorite grilled cheese sandwich for the ultimate pairing.
Creamy Tomato Chipotle Soup Recipe
Chipotles in adobo add a wonderful smoky-spicy element to lots of dishes.
The heat of the chipotle chile is balanced here with the addition of cream, making for a perfect family meal.
I love these soups that come together easily with a myriad of pantry staples as well as fresh ingredients.
It means dinner can be ready in less than an hour, which is less stressful for me and for who ever else decides to make it! I hope it’s you.
The recipe makes about 12 cups of delicious soup, which is enough for seconds or for lunch the next day.
For some added crunch, serve your soup with tortilla chips, sprinkle them right on top or put them on the side.
A little dollop of sour cream would also be just perfect.
This soup is more flavorful than just plain tomato soup and it goes so well with a buttery, grilled cheese sandwich.
Leftovers are also amazing and can easily be taken to the office and reheated in the microwave.
