Who wants a big ‘ol bowl of this Smoky Chipotle Tomato Bisque?! You know you want some.
I’ve been all about the warm and comforting soups lately, and I can’t stop, won’t stop. I find that I tend to be more creative in my cooking when I decide to make a soup than with any other dish, and it’s more fun for me. For some reason I feel like I can just put lots of stuff in a pan, roast it, blend it up and it’ll look pretty, even though that’s definitely not true.
Luckily, that’s exactly what I did when I came up with this recipe and it worked out! I had some pre-cut butternut squash in the fridge, a can of corn in my pantry and some tomatoes sitting on my kitchen table. I decided to throw everything together, roast it up and this tomato bisque/butternut squash soup was born.
This Smoky Chipotle Tomato Bisque only takes 35 minutes to make from start to finish and is full of really good ingredients like roasted butternut squash, an assortment of tomatoes, corn, garlic and my favorite – chipotle peppers in adobo sauce. The pepper gives everything a rich smoky flavor without being spicy, making this soup a great option for the whole family.
If you like spice like I do, however, and want to kick it up a notch, you always have the option of adding more chipotle. I 100 percent support that decision.
To make, simply place all the ingredients on a sheet pan with some olive oil, salt and garlic and roast for 30 minutes in a 400 degree oven. Then transfer the ingredients to a large blender, add some broth and 1/2 a chipotle pepper in adobo. Then puree until silky smooth.
That’s it! Seriously the easiest thing ever.
I made it all pretty by swirling in some plain Greek yogurt, dried sage and freshly ground black pepper. It’s amazing what a little garnish can do. Don’t they just look like the coziest bowls of soup ever?!
I served the soup with some warm crusty bread that I slathered in herb butter and toasted in the oven. Needless to say, the whole combo was bomb.
Next time I’m thinking I’ll eat it with a grilled cheese because that may be the only way to make the whole soup experience even better. Or maybe I could serve it in a big bread bowl?! So many delicious possibilities.

Mmmm! Thank you for this recipe! A quick, weeknight meal that is delicious to boot. The tangy addition of sour cream in this smoky, cozy bowl is a must. It is going to be a new staple for getting through Minneapolis winters. (I added 3 chipotles—next time I think it could use even more!)
