1 cup vegan cheddar cheese , shredded
1 cup v- 8 butternut squash soup ( Ca n't find the soup ? No worries ! Just use defrosted frozen butternut squash instead )
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon dry mustard ( from here down , feel free to add a LOT more of these spices if you want . These are just guidelines . )
1/2 teaspoon white pepper ( white pepper is HOTTER than `` black '' pepper , so if it 's your first time using it , be careful . )

3 dashes Tabasco sauce ( again , a guildeline . I use 1/4 a bottle sometimes ! Really . Yeah , I like it spicy ! )
