A creamy, smoky soup made with roasted red peppers and gouda cheese, perfect for cozy nights and easy to prepare in just 30 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large roasted red peppers, jarred or freshly roasted
  • 1 cup smoked gouda cheese, grated
  • 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 2–3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • A handful of fresh basil, chopped, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute, stirring frequently.
  2. Stir in the tomato paste and smoked paprika. Let it cook for 1-2 minutes to release its flavor.
  3. Add the roasted red peppers to the pot. If using jarred peppers, drain them first. Stir well to combine with the other ingredients.
  4. Pour in 4 cups of chicken or vegetable broth. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and let it cook for 10 minutes.
  5. Using an immersion blender, puree the soup until smooth. If using a regular blender, blend in batches and return the soup to the pot.
  6. Reduce the heat to low and stir in 1 cup of grated smoked gouda cheese. Mix until the cheese has melted and the soup is creamy.
  7. Slowly add 1 cup of heavy cream, stirring constantly to incorporate. Heat the soup gently for another 2-3 minutes, but don’t let it boil.
  8. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with chopped fresh basil.

Notes

[‘Use jarred roasted red peppers to save time.’, ‘Blend in batches if using a traditional blender to avoid spills.’, ‘Warm the cream slightly before adding it to prevent curdling.’, ‘Adjust the thickness by adding more broth or simmering uncovered.’]
