In a large pot, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add one chopped onion and sauté until it becomes translucent, approximately 5 minutes.

Stir in 2 minced garlic cloves and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Pour in 4 cups of chicken or vegetable broth into the pot, bringing the mixture to a gentle simmer.

Allow it to heat for about 5 minutes, letting the flavors meld together.

Add 1 cup of your favorite charcuterie into the simmering broth and let it simmer for about 10 minutes.

Reduce the heat to low and slowly add 1 cup of heavy cream, stirring until thoroughly blended.

Incorporate 1 cup of shredded cheese into the soup and stir until smooth.

Add 1 teaspoon of thyme, 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika, and salt and pepper to taste.

Ladle the soup into bowls, garnishing with 1 tablespoon of freshly chopped parsley.
