1. Preheat the oven broiler. Cut the red pepper in half lengthwise. Discard the stem and seeds. Put the pepper, skin side up, on a foil-lined pie plate and press with palm to flatten. Roast under the broiler until charred and blistered, about 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a plastic bag and steam 10 to 12 minutes. Remove the skin. Coarsely chop the pepper and place near the stove.
2. In a large saucepan, heat the oil over medium heat and cook the onion, stirring, until softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the broth, wine, potato, salt, and coarsely chopped red pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover and simmer until the potatoes and pepper are very tender, 18 to 20 minutes.
3. Transfer the soup to a blender or food processor and purée until smooth. Return the soup to the pan and bring to a boil over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, and cook 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the pepper. Adjust seasoning. Divide among 4 soup bowls. Scatter the crumbled cheese equally over each bowl. Serve hot.
