This soup is so, so easy and so sinfully, spicy good. You can definitely reduce the amount of chipotle. We like it spicy! You can throw in tons of different veggies. Make sure you don't leave out the squash though, that's what gives it such a creamy texture without all the calories. It's a really versatile, vegetarian soup that's guaranteed to warm you up on a cool day. :0)
