Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 c onion, finely diced
- 1 c carrot, finely diced
- ½ c celery, finely diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 c Roasted Red Peppers, peeled Or a 250 ml jar or container
- 3 c vegetable stock

- 2 tablespoon honey (or more to taste)
- 1 c heavy cream
- 1 c Regular or Smoked Gouda Cheese, grated Plus more for garnish if desired

Instructions
- Heat oil in a large heavy-bottomed pot on medium low. Add diced onion, carrot, celery, garlic, and Italian seasoning. Saute until onion is translucent.
- Stir in vegetable broth, roasted red peppers, and tomato sauce and simmer over medium heat until carrots are soft. Remove from heat and using an immersion blender (or transfer carefully to a regular blender, leaving space for steam to escape) puree to desired texture.
- Return the soup pot to stove and reduce to low heat. Stir in honey and cream and return the soup to a simmer. Turn off the heat, stir in the grated cheese and let sit 1 minute. Then stir gently to mix melted cheese through.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve while hot. Garnish with additional grated cheese, cream or chopped herbs.

Notes
- *To make the little heart shaped swirls I made, make dots of cream in a circle and then run a small knife or a toothpick through them all in a circle and voila!
