Cool slightly and blender or mash half of soup stir in cream cheese.


Notes: You can use neufchatel cheese in place of the cream cheese.  1/2 C of cream cheese is 4 oz.

Here is a link on how to roast a red pepper.  When they are on sale at the grocery store, I stock up and roast them, then freeze them all chopped for the next time I make this recipe.
