Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon savory herb blend or poultry seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce or tamari
  • 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
  • ¼ cup flour or gluten free flour

Equipment

  • Sauce pot
  • measuring cups
  • Measuring spoons
  • Whisk

Method
 

  1. Whisk the gravy. In a small to medium sized sauce pot, whisk together all of the ingredients until it is blended together.
  2. Cook the gravy. Cook the gravy over medium heat on the stove until it comes to a first boil. Then, turn the heat down and let simmer for 4 to 5 minutes, whisking constantly to keep the gravy from burning on the stove. After a few minutes, the gravy will be thick and done. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

  • How to Store
    • Fridge: Allow the gravy to cool completely and store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. 
    • Freezer: Allow the gravy to cool completely and store in a freezer safe container for up to 2 months. 
    • How to Reheat: Reheat gravy either in a microwave safe container in 30 second intervals, making sure to stir each time. You may need to add a few tablespoons of water to help it. You can also reheat the gravy on the stove in a sauce pot on medium-low heat until warmed. Add a splash of water as needed to help get the right consistency.
