There’s nothing like soup when the weather cools off. And there’s nothing like pumpkin and butternut squash when Fall arrives.

So, Trader Joe’s Pumpkin Butternut Squash Bisque should check all the autumnal boxes. Which it does.

Kind of.

This is a good soup, not too thick and not too watery, with a smooth flavor that doesn’t taste too much of pumpkin or butternut squash, but a blend of both. There are a few chunks of sage in there for a flavor. It’s a nice, easy, sippable soup.

Which is good, but not great, and that’s what I’d say about this soup: It’s nice. It didn’t wow me, but it’s nice.

The soup is in the refrigerated case, and I got about two decent sized servings out of the tub when served with a sandwich or a salad. I think if I ate this as my only meal, it would be one serving.

I liked it but wasn’t blown away. I would probably repurchase it, but I won’t weep when it disappears like some seasonal favorites.
