Ingredients

• 1 cup cooked white beans, such as cannelini
• 1/2 cup milk of choice, preferably unsweetened
• 1/3 cup cheese shreds, such as Daiya vegan, OR 5 tablespoon nutritional yeast
• salt -- I like 1/2 tsp
• 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
• If using nutritional yeast, add 1/2 teaspoon white or apple cider vinegar (can be omitted)
• optional 2 teaspoons buttery spread or olive oil – I really like the rich depth of flavor this adds, especially if not using the cheese version
• optional pinch turmeric, thyme, rosemary, etc.
