Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Halve and seed the red bell peppers, then place them cut-side down on a lined baking sheet. Roast for 25-30 minutes until charred.
  2. In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced yellow onion and sauté for 5-7 minutes until soft and translucent.
  3. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes. Then add roasted red peppers, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir well.
  4. Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a gentle simmer, reducing heat to medium-low. Simmer for 10-15 minutes.
  5. Remove from heat and blend the soup until smooth and velvety with an immersion blender.
  6. Return the blended soup to low heat. Stir in heavy cream and grated smoked Gouda cheese until melted.
  7. Taste and adjust seasoning. Stir in cayenne for extra kick if desired.
  8. Serve hot in warm bowls, garnished with fresh herbs or a sprinkle of smoked paprika.
