Vegetarian Gravy

Just had my first Thanksgiving as a vegetarian (which I became about 2 months ago), and other than stuffing from inside the turkey, I decided that the only other thing I would miss was GRAVY. Thus began the hunt for a decent-looking vegetarian gravy recipe. I tried this one and it turned out really well!

Vegetarian Gravy
Serves 4

Ingredients:
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
3/4 Cup chopped mushroom
1 clove garlic, minced
2 Tbs butter
2 1/2 Cup vegetable broth (I use McKay's Chicken Style Instant Broth)
2 Tbs soy sauce (or Bragg's Liquid Amino)
4-5 Tbs flour
salt and pepper to taste


1. Melt butter in a large skillet or Dutch oven and add onion.

2. Sauté onion over medium-high heat, stirring frequently until the onion is softened and browned, about 15 minutes.

3. When onions are browned and beginning to crisp, add mushrooms and garlic and sauté two minutes, stirring constantly.

4. Reduce heat to medium and add vegetable broth and soy sauce. Give everything a good stir, then add flour, one tablespoon at a time, stirring between each addition until flour is completely dissolved. Adjust seasoning and continue stirring for 8-10 minutes or until gravy reaches the desired thickness.

NOTE: This turned out rather salty. The raw potato trick helped some, but even better would be using low sodium soy sauce and broth.
