How to make homemade Vegan Nacho Cheese Sauce

If you have a blender that has a “soup” function on it, then all you want to do is add all ingredients to the blender and let the blender do it’s job. If you don’t have a blender with the “soup” function, then you can just blend all of the ingredients and then eat either on top of the stove or in the microwave.
