Sweet Red Pepper and Gouda Soup

"I was recently in Gettysburg where I had a bowl of sweet red pepper and gouda soup. It was really good. I couldn't find a similar recipe on this site, but I found one on a blog spot called "dinnerdoldrumsnomore". It came out just like the one I was served... So, here it is... Enjoy! --The Mad Slovak --"

  1. This soup is hearty and tastes great. I used Vidalia onions and did not alter any of the other ingredients. Using an immersion blender is an easier, and less messy, way to chop the mixture up.
     
  2. great recipe! I think i'll try roasting the peppers next time; since there will be a next time with this soup! thank you!! <br/>2 packed cups of shredded cheese = .63lb block.
     
  3. 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!
     
  4. I changed the amount of ingredients slightly. I used 8 oz of heavy cream and a half teaspoon of pepper. I didn't have a blender so I used a hand mixer. I also used 2 well drained jars of roasted red peppers. My 1st time and it was awesome.
     
  5. I used roasted red peppers and smoked Gouda cheese. My soup had a somewhat bitter taste so these choices may not have been wise.
