Love this soup. Used 1/2 and 1/2 instead of heavy cream and a little cornstarch to smooth it out and incorporate the gooey gouda which settled to the bottom of the pan. I used a little chipotle red pepper instead of black pepper for smoky taste as my Gouda was not smoked. I did not have fresh onion so used powdered and a dash of Lawrys. I used olive oil instead of butter. I used fresh clove of garlic. Thanks for the recipe so I could figure out proprtions. I made 1/4 the recipe. Btw you must completely cook the red pepper to mushy consistency and blend it. The key to this soup is how smooth it turns out like the picture. I'm off to find a Mushroom Brie soup recipe next. Bon apetite!
