1 red pepper ( I do not use)
1 cup fat free reduced sodium chicken broth
4 oz neufchatel cheese
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese grated ( I use reduced fat)

I found the recipe on Kraft's website. For the servings it says "6 servings, 1-1/3 cups each".
Their way, it's 430 cal p/s, but I guess making the changes to the low fat/fat free ingredients drops it below 100 cal p/s?0
