• ½ teaspoon salt (to taste)
• ¼ teaspoon black pepper
• ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and sour cream. Use an electric mixer or a whisk to blend these together until smooth and creamy.
2. Gradually add the tomato soup to the cream mixture. Continue mixing until the flavors are well incorporated and the dip is smooth.
