This creamy soup Is a family favorite. As a productivity manager, I am all about quick and easy soups for a dimple meal idea. Like my Green Pozole soup and my Rotisserie chicken soup, the warm spices and chilis make this soup special.
This creamy soup came about by accident. I wanted to make a potato soup a little spicier so I thought I would add some Chipotle peppers to it. I added some cream and spices and it actually came out very good.
It’s a nice, slightly spicy soup that brings extra warmth to a cold day. It goes great with these Green Chili Quesadillas or tortillas and butter.

Raquel’s Time Saving Tips
- If you do not have broth on hand, you can make this recipe using a chicken bouillon or bouillon granules). I like to use a ratio of 1 cube to two cups of water to keep the sodium level a little lower.
- Make this the night before and it will keep well in the refrigerator.
- You can also use vegetable broth for this recipe
