Im sure we all know this classic soup-n-sandwich duo, but if not, id be happy to introduce you! This plant-based grilled cheese uses two slices of bread spread with butter (on one side), Chao cheese, and a drizzle of truffle oil. During these colder months, this dynamic duo will warm you up in all the right places. Just after one measly dunk-n-bite, you will never want any other grilled cheese than then you see before your eyes. Ive been wanting to get this recipe created and I am so happy I get to share one of my top 10 favorite comfort foods!

Directions
- In a sauce pan, combine all soup ingredients except for the coconut cream. Bring to a smaller and cover with a lid for 10 minutes.
- Using a blender or hand immersion stick, blend soup until smooth in texture. Add the coconut cream and mix to combine. Turn to low and set aside to make the sandwiches.

Chef’s tip: You can swap out the coconut cream for cashew milk if you would like.
