Seasonings
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder

Sauté Mushrooms: In a large pot, sauté mushrooms with 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil until soft and tender, about 5 minutes. Remove and set aside.
1 lb mushrooms, 3 Tablespoon vegetable oil
Make roux: In the same pot, add the remaining oil and flour and stir continuously, about 2 minutes.
5 to 6 Tablespoons flour
Add broth and spices: Slowly pour in half the broth while stirring vigorously with a whisk. This will help prevent lumps. Once smooth and lump free, add the rest of the broth, sautéed mushrooms, onion powder, garlic powder, and bay leaf (if using). Add soy sauce, tamari, or liquid aminos if you prefer a darker color.
