This Soup Is One Of Trader Joe’s Best Yet, According To Customers

Trader Joe’s soups? We know them well. It has soups, broths, chowders, and bisques in abundance, and whether canned, jarred, or coming in a little tub, the store has plenty of good options to choose from. That’s not to say that all of its soups are out-and-out winners – but it is to say that you can generally find something pretty good there. And look, now that it’s OFFICIALLY fall, soups are on the brain.

Especially autumnal ones. Hearty ones. Ones that warm the tips of your toes and the depths of your soul. And Trader Joe’s has one of those too, that customers adore. 

Trader Joe’s Autumnal Harvest Soup 

This year, as part of its yearly fall item haul, Trader Joe’s has brought back its Autumnal Harvest Soup. This jarred soup has been on rotation for a good few years now, and every time it appears, it wins people over. Autumnal Harvest Soup uses tomato, pumpkin, and butternut squash as a base, and then mixes in herbs like rosemary and sage to give it that warming fall feeling (I had both of those herbs in a risotto I made last night, so their comforting nature is top of mind for me today – the risotto was excellent, FYI, if I do say so myself). Then, TJ’s finishes it with a splash of heavy cream. 

Trader Joe’s Autumnal Harvest Soup is $4.99 a jar, so it’s not the cheapest one out there – but if customer opinions are anything to go by, it’s worth it. Over on Reddit, Trader Joe’s fans have been busy praising it for the last few days, with someone saying that it’s one of the best fall items they make, and that the store gets the balance of chunkiness to smoothness right. It’s slightly thinner and less sweet than its Pumpkin Bisque, but it’s not a bad comp if you like that one. 

Options!

Now, this soup is tailor-made for enjoying with a hunk of crusty bread – but Trader Joe’s customers also know a versatile product when they see one. A fair few people recommend using it as a pasta sauce (and, crucially, they say it’s slightly different from the Autumnal Harvest Creamy Pasta Sauce Trader Joe’s makes – this one’s a bit more tomato-forward), and one customer said that they combined it with TJ’s three-cheese tortellini and some crushed potato chips. Which, frankly, sounds delicious. You could also amp it up with some chicken meatballs, or, as one customer did, browned butter and crispy sage leaves. Err on the side of cozy with your adaptations, and you can’t go wrong.
