Here are 3 examples of what you want:
<<Graphics`ContourPlot3D`
Spherical case:
ContourPlot3D[Exp[-{x, y, z} . {{1, 0, 0}, {0, 1, 0}, {0, 0, 1}} .
{x, y, z}] - 0.5, {x, -1, 1}, {y, -1, 1}, {z, -1, 1}];
Axis-aligned ellipsoidal case:
ContourPlot3D[Exp[-{x, y, z} . {{1, 0, 0}, {0, 2, 0}, {0, 0, 4}} .
{x, y, z}] - 0.5, {x, -1, 1}, {y, -1, 1}, {z, -1, 1}];
More general ellipsoidal case:
ContourPlot3D[Exp[-{x, y, z} . {{2, 2, 1}, {0.5, 2, 1}, {1, 2, 4}} .
{x, y, z}] - 0.5, {x, -1, 1}, {y, -1, 1}, {z, -1, 1}, PlotPoints ->
5];
