A warm and comforting soup featuring creamy gouda, roasted red peppers, and hearty tortellini—perfect for chilly evenings or elegant dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 jar roasted red peppers, drained
  • 1 package cheese tortellini (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 cup shredded gouda cheese (preferably smoked)
  • 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh basil for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until translucent. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute.
  2. Drain the jarred roasted red peppers and add them to the pot. Sauté for 2-3 minutes to enhance their natural sweetness.
  3. Pour in 4 cups of chicken or vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 10 minutes.
  4. Transfer the soup base to a blender or use an immersion blender directly in the pot. Blend until smooth and creamy.
  5. Return the blended soup to the pot and stir in 1 cup of shredded gouda cheese, letting it melt completely.
  6. Add 1 cup of heavy cream and stir well. Season with 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper to taste.
  7. Bring the soup back to a gentle simmer, and then add the cheese tortellini. Cook according to package instructions (usually 5-7 minutes).
  8. Once the tortellini is tender, taste the soup and adjust the seasoning if needed. Garnish with fresh basil before serving.

Notes

[‘Use smoked gouda for added depth of flavor.’, ‘Don’t overcook the tortellini to avoid mushiness.’, ‘If using a regular blender, let the soup cool slightly before blending to prevent splatters.’, ‘Add salt and pepper gradually, tasting as you go.’]
