Absolutely fantastic! I followed the recipe to the letter, except I cut back on the garlic just a bit & I used vegan chik'n bouillon + water for the vegetable broth. It was so easy & quick to make, and the results were just amazingly delicious. Vegans & meat-eaters alike LOVE this recipe! It doubles nicely, too.

Finally! A vegetarian gravy that tastes good and that I successfully made! I eat dairy so instead of oil I used 2 TABLESPOONS of BUTTER, and only 2 TABLESPOONS of FLOUR. The consistency was perfect and the flavor was amazing. Next time I think I will start with half of the soy and add more if needed, and I didn't add the extra 1/2 tsp salt. It was a little on the salty side, but that could have been due to the broth brand used. I will definitely make this for my Quorn "Turkey" log and potatoes for Thanksgiving!

I am a vegetarian and have been on an endless trek to find a good veggie gravy. I was very excited to try this based on its good reviews but I was sooo disappointed. I tried incorporating the other reviewers tips - using butter instead of oil; cutting down both the butter and flour to 1/4 cup; omitting the salt due to using regular soya sauce... I'm a big garlic fan but was suspicious about 5 cloves, but, against my better judgement, I went ahead and threw them all in and MAN - it was WAAY too garlicy. And coming from me, that should tell you something. It probably didn't need more than 2 cloves. Even besides that, I thought it tasted a bit "funky". I may try to play around with this more in the future, but for now I'm back to my powdered organic veggie gravy packets I buy at the grocery store...

I use a lot less oil than listed, because it tends to separate as it cools if you use the full amount. Still tastes great with less oil, though. I make this recipe every Thanksgiving, every time I make mashed potatoes, and when I want poutine. LOVE it.

I was thoroughly impressed with how delicious this tasted. I halved the recipe because I was feeding a small amount of people and the measurements transferred well. I don't really think salt & pepper is necessary, though. And combination Italian seasoning worked just as well.
