Ingredients
4 basic ingredients + seasonings.
- Oil or vegan butter: Any neutral-tasting oil like canola oil will work.
- Flour: All-purpose flour is used to thicken the gravy.
- Vegetable broth: Grab a carton of store-bought broth, or use vegetable bouillon and water to be more cost-effective.
- Soy sauce: Soy sauce adds both salty and umami elements for a savory flavor.
- Seasonings: Onion powder, garlic powder, and pepper.

Instructions
Homemade gravy is one of the easiest recipes you'll ever make. It's quick to whip up right before dinner is served! All you need is a whisk and a medium to large saucepan.
Heat oil in a pot on medium-low heat. Whisk in flour and seasonings and cook for 2 minutes.
Whisk in vegetable broth and soy sauce. Let simmer for 5 minutes, or until thickened.
Substitutions
- Gluten-free - Use a gluten-free 1-to-1 flour, like Bob's Red Mill.
- Low-sodium - Opt for a low-sodium soy sauce or reduce the quantity.
Variations
- Seasonings: You can add sage, thyme, rosemary, or marjoram for additional flavor. Add cayenne pepper for some heat.
- Mushrooms/Onions: If you like mushrooms or onions in your gravy, dice some up and sauté them in the oil before adding flour.
- Wine: Replace 1 cup of the vegetable broth with 1 cup of the wine of your choosing. Both red wine (like Cabernet sauvignon) or white wine (like Chardonnay) work well.
Storage
Store any leftovers in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Simply heat it back up in the microwave or on the stove.
