Print Recipe

A creamy, smoky soup made with roasted red peppers and gouda cheese, perfect for cozy nights.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 medium yellow onion, chopped finely
  • 2–3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 cups roasted red peppers (jarred or homemade, drained and chopped)
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 4 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup shredded gouda cheese (preferably smoked)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional garnishes: fresh basil, croutons, olive oil drizzle

Instructions

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.
  2. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds, just until fragrant.
  3. Add the roasted red peppers (drained and chopped if using jarred) and smoked paprika. Cook for 2 minutes to blend the flavors.
  4. Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Let it cook for about 10 minutes.
  5. Carefully transfer the soup to a blender (or use an immersion blender directly in the pot) and blend until smooth. Return the soup to the pot.
  6. Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream and shredded gouda cheese. Cook, stirring frequently, until the cheese is fully melted and the soup is creamy.
  7. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Adjust the consistency with a little more broth if needed.
  8. Serve hot, garnished with fresh basil, croutons, or a drizzle of olive oil.

Notes

For a dairy-free version, use coconut milk and vegan cheese. Blend in small batches if using a regular blender, and let hot soup cool slightly to avoid splatters.
