❤️ About Roasted Red Pepper Soup Recipe

Texture: It is creamy, perfectly silky & smooth. This creaminess comes from the addition of heavy cream.  Taste: It has a subtle sweetness from charred roasted red peppers with the right amount of smokey taste (comes from smoked paprika, smoked gouda cheese & of course from roasted peppers).

Quick to make: If you have roasted peppers ready (or using a store-bought jar) then this soup comes together in just 30 minutes. Simple: It is made with only 10 ingredients, most of them are easily available in your grocery store. Easy: Aside from very minimal chopping, it’s a one-pot soup. Weeknight friendly: This roasted pepper soup with gouda makes a comforting, cozy dinner during chilly winter nights. It is best when served with crusty bread.

🧾 Ingredient Notes

Roasted red peppers: You can roast your own red peppers at home. I prefer the oven method (which takes about 30-40 minutes with 15 mins of active time). Or just buy the jars of roasted red peppers which are easily available in the stores and convenient.  Celery, Onion, Garlic: These are the staples to add flavor to the soup. Vegetable stock: If you are using pre-packaged, try to buy the low-sodium version, so you can control the salt in your dish. I always use better than bouillon vegetable base (which you have to dissolve in warm/hot water). I always keep that handy in the refrigerator.

👩‍🍳 How To Make Roasted Red Pepper Soup With Gouda?

  1. Heat the olive oil in a pan on medium heat. Once hot add onion, celery and garlic. Sprinkle a little salt to speed up the cooking process.
  2. Stir and saute till onions are soft and translucent.
  3. Now add roasted red peppers, smoked paprika, pepper and remaining salt.
  4. Also, add vegetable stock. Stir well to combine everything.
  5. Let it simmer for 15 minutes.
  6. Transfer the mixture into the blender and blend it until smooth. Be careful when blending hot stuff. Or you can use an immersion hand blender (in my opinion it does not make soup silky smooth). 
  7. Again bring it to a simmer on low heat, add heavy cream and mix.
  8. Sprinkle gouda cheese and stir until melted.
  9. Soup is ready to serve.

🥣 Storage Instructions

In the refrigerator, it stays good for up to 4-5 days in an airtight container. In the freezer, it stays good for up to 3 months. Let the soup cool down completely before freezing. To thaw, transfer the soup container from the freezer to the refrigerator and let it thaw overnight. Gently reheat and serve.
