I’m not sure which I like better, the taste of this low carb Roasted Red Pepper, Tomato and Smoked Gouda Bisque soup or the delicious aroma filling my house when I make it. It’s the kind of smell that instantly fills your mind with thoughts of cuddling up in front of the fire on those cool, cozy fall and winter days. Nothing quite warms you up on days like that like a piping hot bowl of soup.
You can easily convert this to a stove top recipe. Simply sauté the onion and garlic in a large stockpot or dutch oven. Once the onions are translucent and the garlic is fragrant, add the tomatoes, roasted red peppers, chicken stock, tomato paste, basil, sea salt, oregano, and black pepper to the pot. Bring to a boil and then reduce to low, cover and simmer for an hour. Puree and return to the pot. Mix in heavy cream and gouda and cook on low for an additional 30 minutes.
