Heavenly! It is soooo thick, rich and creamy. I used reduced-fat cream cheese with no problem. I used a potato masher and gave the soup a few mashes. The only extra thing I added was salt. My soup was almost like pudding consisitancy. It was perfect for me, but may be too thick for some. You could easily add some milk or broth to thin it a bit, if necessary. Thanx for posting this. I'll be making this again!
