This is a very simple crème soup. It takes 40 minutes to cook and your family will enjoy this meal. It’s a great summer soup for your to enjoy! Simple and flavorful!
For this recipe you will need:

1 big carrot
1 green bell pepper
4 oz. crème cheese
1 tbsp. salt
1 tsp. black pepper
1 tsp. cumin
1/3 cup of chopped lemon basil
2 cups of dry homemade bread
2 quart of stock (vegetable, chicken etc.)

This looks like an inventive cream soup. I’ve never tried pureeing cream cheese in — sounds delicious!
Thanks for your note on FoodBuzz. Here is a recipe I love — we just made it the other night on the grill:
