A cozy and indulgent soup featuring roasted red peppers, cheese-filled tortellini, and creamy Gouda cheese. Perfect for chilly evenings or hosting friends.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 jar or homemade roasted red peppers
  • 12 ounces cheese tortellini (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 cup shredded Gouda cheese (smoked Gouda optional)
  • 4 cups chicken broth (or vegetable broth for vegetarian option)
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh basil for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Chop the onion and garlic. Drain roasted red peppers if using jarred ones, or roast fresh peppers until charred and peel off the skins.
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until translucent. Stir in the garlic and cook for an additional minute.
  3. Add the roasted red peppers to the pot and cook for another 2-3 minutes. Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a simmer.
  4. Using an immersion blender, puree the mixture until smooth. (If using a regular blender, let the soup cool slightly and blend in batches.) Return the smooth mixture to the pot.
  5. Bring the soup back to a simmer and stir in the cheese tortellini. Cook according to package instructions, usually 3-5 minutes for fresh tortellini.
  6. Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream and shredded Gouda. Stir continuously until the cheese is fully melted and the soup is creamy.
  7. Add salt and pepper to taste. Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with fresh basil if desired, and serve hot.

Notes

[‘Choose high-quality Gouda cheese and fresh tortellini for the best flavor and texture.’, ‘When using a regular blender, blend in small batches and hold the lid down firmly to prevent spills.’, ‘If your soup feels too thick, add a splash more broth or water to reach your desired consistency.’, ‘You can customize the recipe by adding red pepper flakes for spice, using vegetable broth for a vegetarian option, or adding protein like sausage or chicken.’]
