  • 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.

Notes

Makes about 3 cups of gravy. Recipe photo is made with optional soy sauce for darker color.
  1. Broth or stock - Look for a good quality stock with all natural ingredients for the best flavor.
  2. Flour - Use all purpose flour. For thinner gravy, use 5 tablespoons.
  3. Storage & leftovers - Store in an airtight container and keep in the fridge for up to 3 days. The gravy will thicken as it cools. To reheat, use the stovetop or microwave while stirring occasionally for a smooth consistency.
