• Use an immersion blender and puree the soup until you obtain a smooth consistency. You could also use a regular blender. Please use caution when blending hot liquids as they tend to create heat explosions. Let the hot soup cool for a few minutes off the stove before you place it in the blender. I like to open the little plastic lid on top of the blender and cover it with a kitchen towel. Add the cream cheese and the remaining teaspoon of butter. Stir and mix. Check salt and pepper and adjust seasoning if necessary.
