Steps:
- Open the tofu package and use your hands to crumble it into the blender or food processor. Add the oil, lemon juice, water, and salt. Cover and blend until the oil emulsifies and the mixture is smooth and creamy. This part is key, so be patient. It can take several minutes for the mixture to go from grainy to smooth. Stop to scrape the sides as needed and use a tamper if you have one.
- Pour the mixture into a large air-tight container and stir in the soup mix. Once incorporated, cover the container and place it in the fridge for 8 hours or overnight to set.
- When the mixture has set, taste and adjust seasonings as you see fit. Then, spread it on bagels, toast, sandwiches, ALL. THE. THINGS. You can store leftovers in the fridge for a week or the freezer for a month.

Steps:
- Combine the chopped vegetables with a small amount of salt in the food processor. The juices of the vegetables come out more easily while the salt absorbs some of the liquid, leaving you with a more evenly distributed vegetable flavor.
- Add pepper to the vegetable mixture, combine with the cream cheese and stir. Add more salt and pepper to taste if need be.

Tips:
- If you don't have raw cashews on hand, you can use roasted cashews. Roast them at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10 minutes, then let them cool before using them.
- Soak your cashews for at least 4 hours, or overnight, before making the cream cheese. This will help them soften and blend more smoothly.
- You can add a variety of flavors to your vegan vegetable cream cheese. Try adding herbs like dill, chives, or parsley, or spices like garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
- If you want a thicker cream cheese, you can add more cashews or use less water.
- Store your vegan vegetable cream cheese in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
