Best Vegan Cheese Sauce Recipe

This is the best tasting vegan cheese sauce I’ve found so far. I always have at least one jar in my refrigerator. I use it for mac and cheese, nachos, baked potatoes, etc. I have made it with and without the margarine (I use Earth Balance margarine) depending on how indulgent I feel like being and they both turn out great. I use leeks instead of onions due to my food sensitivity and omit the shallots because I don’t typically have them on hand.

Let me know if you make it or if you have another vegan cheese recipe you love.
