Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). Place the whole red bell peppers on a baking sheet and roast them for 20-25 minutes until charred. Let them cool, then peel and chop.
  2. In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onion and sauté for 5-7 minutes until soft. Stir in garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes.
  3. Add chopped roasted red peppers, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir and allow to combine for 2-3 minutes.
  4. Pour in vegetable broth and bring to a gentle simmer for 10-15 minutes to meld flavors.
  5. Blend the soup using an immersion blender until smooth. Transfer in batches to a traditional blender if preferred.
  6. Lower heat and stir in heavy cream and smoked Gouda cheese until melted and creamy. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
  7. Ladle into bowls and serve immediately, paired with bread or grilled cheese.
