Dissolve gelatin in 1/8 cup of water.

Heat soup until warm, about 2 or 3 minutes.  Remove from heat; add dissolved gelatin and cream cheese.  Stir until smooth.

Add remaining ingredients, and add salt and pepper as desired.  Mix well.  Pour mixture into a well-buttered mold or bowl.  Refrigerate for six hours or longer.  To remove the spread from the mold, flip the mold or bowl upside down and rest on a serving dish.  The mold will separate from the spread in a minute or so. Serve with crackers.
