My hubby and I first tried this delicious soup at Dean & Deluca restaurant, which unfortunately closed here in Charlotte, so I knew I had to recreate it at home. To my delight, it tastes almost exactly like Dean & Deluca! This soup is creamy, comforting and just perfect for a chilly day like today and was a hit with my boys. Super easy to make and it’s a gluten free/low carb recipe. Delicious and nutritious!
Roasted Red Bell Pepper & Gouda Soup
A recreation of Dean & Deluca's Roasted Red Bell Pepper & Gouda Soup. This soup is creamy, comforting and just perfect for a chilly day. The best part is how easy it is to make and that it’s a gluten free/low carb recipe. Delicious and nutritious!
Ingredients
- 1 Onion finely diced
- 3 Garlic Cloves minced
- 2 TBS Butter
- 1 17 oz. Jar Roasted Red Peppers
- 2 14.5 oz. Cans Fire Roasted Tomatoes

Instructions

- Add the roasted red peppers, fire roasted tomatoes, tomato paste, chicken broth, oregano, basil, salt and pepper. Mix until well combined. Bring to a boil. Then cover the pot with a lid, and simmer on low heat for 1 hour.
- When soup is done simmering 1 hour, blend it with an immersion blender to a smooth pure (or use a blender or food processor then transfer back to the pot). Add heavy cream and shredded gouda cheese. Mix well and let it simmer on low for another 30 minutes.
