Delicious Roasted Red Pepper and Gouda Soup

This soup features roasted red peppers blended with sautéed onions and garlic, creating a smooth base that is enriched with Gouda cheese. The recipe takes about 30 minutes from start to finish and serves 4 people.

Ingredients

4 large red bell peppers, roasted and peeled
1 medium onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
4 cups vegetable or chicken broth
1 cup heavy cream
8 ounces Gouda cheese, shredded
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh basil for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Roast the Peppers: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the red bell peppers on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes, turning occasionally, until the skins are charred. Remove from the oven, cover with foil, and let them steam for 10 minutes. Peel and chop the peppers.
Sauté Aromatics: In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, and sauté until softened and fragrant (about 5 minutes).
Blend the Soup: Add the roasted red peppers and broth to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth.
Add Cream and Cheese: Stir in the heavy cream and shredded Gouda cheese. Heat gently over low heat until the cheese is melted and the soup is creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh basil if desired. Serve hot with crusty bread or a side salad.
