Print Recipe

A creamy and flavorful roasted red pepper soup blended with smoky Gouda cheese, perfect for a comforting meal any day.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large red bell peppers, roasted and peeled
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 cup smoked Gouda cheese, shredded
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Roast the red bell peppers over an open flame or under a broiler until charred on all sides; place in a covered bowl to steam for 10 minutes, then peel off the skins and remove seeds.
  2. In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes.
  3. Add the minced garlic and smoked paprika, cooking for another minute until fragrant.
  4. Add the roasted red peppers and vegetable broth to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes.
  5. Use an immersion blender or transfer the soup to a blender, blending until smooth and creamy.
  6. Return the soup to the pot (if using blender). Stir in the shredded smoked Gouda cheese and heavy cream.
  7. Simmer gently until the cheese is fully melted and soup is heated through. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  8. Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve warm.

Notes

For an extra smoky flavor, try adding a splash of smoked chipotle hot sauce or serve with crusty garlic bread.
