Potato Chipotle Soup Recipe

This Potato Chipotle Soup Recipe with tortillas is a nice hearty soup for chilly days! 

This recipe sort of came about quite 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.

It also can be made the day before which I think is nice because the flavors get a chance to blend. Another great thing about this recipe is that it is a very low cost to make. With the main ingredients being potatoes and chipotle peppers, you can make a pot of soup for just a few dollars.

• 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.
