Ingredients

2 cups diced peeled butternut squash
1 small carrot, finely chopped
1 green onion, sliced
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 cups vegetable broth, divided
1 can (14-1/2 ounces) diced tomatoes, undrained

In a large saucepan, saute the squash, carrot, onion and cumin in oil for 10 minutes. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer. Add 1-1/2 cups broth; bring to a boil. Reduce heat. Cover and simmer for 10-12 minutes or until vegetables are tender; cool slightly.
Transfer mixture to a blender; add the tomatoes, cream cheese, basil, chipotle pepper and remaining broth. Cover and process for 1-2 minutes or until smooth.
Return to the saucepan; stir in the beans, corn and spinach. Cook and stir until spinach is wilted and soup is heated through. Yield: 5 servings.

Very healthy homemade soup! Have made it several times and you can spice it up as you like with the chipotle.

My family and I all loved this soup! My husband doesn't even like butternut squash and he really liked this soup. Good recipe!

Made this a few days ago when the weather was COLD and it really warmed things up! Love the spiciness and all of the healthy things packed into this soup - I served it with some cornbread and had a hearty meal. I found peeled, diced butternut squash sold in the frozen foods section at my supermarket and that made preparation much easier. Great recipe!

I couldn't think of a way to peel the squash that didn't seem likely to cause injury so I baked the squash the night before. That worked quite well of course and my husband liked it enough to request that I keep the recipe.

Made it on Xmas Eve. My family lapped it up. Love the spicy, smoky chipotle flavor.

Made this for the first time last night and the family was amazed- it is one of our new favorites for sure. Made a few adjustments like adding cooked turkey for extra protein and a little tomato sauce to combat the heat. Overall a WONDERFUL recipe!

My family didn't believe that I made it. They were convinced that I picked it up at a restaurant. DELICIOUS!!!

*We like our food a little spicy, so I doubled the amount of chipotle peppers. Also, instead of using Mexicorn I used can corn and fresh red and green bell peppers diced.
