Fabulous alternative to the carnivore's thanksgiving accoutrement.

Very flavorful and rich. I made it for thanksgiving and it was completely consumed despite the fact that I was the only vegetarian and there was meat based gravy available.

I used 1/4 cup of olive oil instead of half cup of vegetable oil. Also, I ran out of soy sauce, so I used two tablespoons of dark miso paste instead. I thought it looked unsightly with all of the onion chunks, so I pureed it before thickening - it turned out lovely!!

I love this gravy recipe! The only changes I made were to use 1/4 cup cornstarch instead of the flour to make it celiac friendly, and didn't add as much salt as asked for. Next time, I'll cook the onions a little bit before adding the garlic, since I ended up burning the garlic this time. Thanks for the great recipe!

This was thick, sticky, and tasted like soy sauce and nutritional yeast.

Tasty for a vegetarian gravy. Really loved the sage, I think it makes the gravy.

This was fantastic. Our first gravy at Thanksgiving turned out terrible so we jumped onto Allrecipes and found this recipe at the last minute and whipped it up before the guests arrived. It was really a hit! we only use this recipe now.

We've been looking for a good vegetarian gravy for a while now, and this fit the bill!!! My husband loved it! I did it with less soy sauce and more broth as some of the reviews suggested and it seemed just right. Might try it with less salt. The flavor was perfect, everything blended together so well. Not even hard to make. Highly recommended!

Soy gives this the color and taste needed. I roasted up some veggies in the Roux mixture, then blended.

This is a fabulous recipe! I only use one clove of garlic, a personal preference, and no nutritional yeast, don't have any! Next time I will pick some up and try it out. I also use poultry spice instead of sage. Highly recommend!

4 tbsp soy sauce is WAY too much, in my opinion. I used only 3 tbsp and it was still overpowering. overall, it's a great starting place for vegetarian gravy. next time I'll try 1-2 tbsp of soy sauce.

Great flavor! Added about a cup more broth as other reviews suggested, and it was still plenty thick. Next time I think I'll try adding even more broth to cut the oil content and reduce the salt.

Found this recipe forever ago and have been making it for years. I use butter instead of oil and as I make this to go with mashed potatoes I use the potato water in place of broth. I used to make without yeast, but bought it once, and now buy it regularly to add to my veg recipes. Amazing taste. Maybe it's b/c I hadn't eaten gravy in years before I found this, but I swear it's better than any gravy I've had.

Fantastic. After being a vegetarian for over ten years, I have finally found a gravy that tastes good (not just salty). Try this recipe. My meat-eating husband even said that he wouldn't be able to

This is a great vegetarian gravy! My brother-in-law & Mom are vegetarians & so for our Thanksgiving dinner I made this for them to enjoy & they loved it. A really great recipe for anyone who might be skeptical!

Very, very nice and easy. I wanted to have a veggie gravy for the sole vegetarian at Thanksgiving. Alterations: definitely change the oil to olive oil and reduce to NO more than 1/4 cup - match the flour amount to the oil amount you use; added 1 cup of finely chopped musrooms to the onions & garlic; reduced the soy to 2 tablespoons (that was enough to get the salty taste without it becoming too soy-y); definintely increase the broth to your desired thickness - I doubled it; eliminated the added salt; substituted poultry seasoning for the sage. I didn't find Nutritional Yeast at my local health food store - they didn't know what it was and suggested brewer's yeast, but research says these are not the same. I was able to locate the right stuff at Fred Meyer (Northwest area store) in the bulk food section.

EXCELLENT recipe! After purchasing vegetarian gravy from Whole Foods every Thanksgiving, I decided to give it a try and make it myself. This recipe is both delicious and easy. I omitted the yeast and used two tablespoons of soy sauce. I also sauteed mushrooms. YUM!

Great flavour, but a bit thicker than I was aiming for. I would definitely make this recipe again though, and perhaps add more veggie broth. I took it to Thanksgiving dinner and it was gone wayyy before the turkey gravy!

I used 1/4 cup unsalted butter instead of vegetable oil and also less soy sauce. I never would have imagined that the nutritional yeast (I used Marmite brand) and soy sauce combination would make such good gravy. All vegetarians at my Thanksgiving dinner were excited to have gravy, so thanks for posting!
