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!

This gravy was beyond excellent! The closest to real gravy I have ever tasted. I did have to add some water to it after it thickened a lot. Nutritional yeast is key. Will make this frequently!

This is a really tasty recipe- much better than any vegetarian gravy you can buy in the store and easy to make. I have made it a few times and I made some changes. I didn't like the big chunks of onion in the gravy, so now I grate the onion instead of chopping it. I also used vegan margarine instead of oil, more vegetable broth, added some herbs de provence, and omitted the extra salt.

This recipe was very easy to execute and worked out really well. A lot of the guests at Thanksgiving liked it better than the meat gravy. I was happy to find an alternative that I could enjoy with the rest of the meal.

Wow, this was delicious! I followed the recipe exactly except I used 2 cups of water and a bouillon cube instead of ready-made vegetable broth. It came out very thick so I stirred in some extra water. I would go easy on the salt also, since the soy sauce will make it salty.

My husband and I are both vegetarians and love this recipe. I serve it with tofurkey or over breaded tofu. This recipe keeps well in the freezer, as long as you divide it into several small containers.

my first time making vegan gravy and after following the recommendations of others, it came out great. i used 3 cups of broth (all i had was spicy tomato broth from the mexican store, but it added some kick!), a little less than half a cup of flour, added mushrooms, and instead of sage, used some dill. delicious for my biscuits hooray!

I made this as is once and found it too salty and thick and, since then, made the suggested changes (halved the oil, used olive oil instead of vegetable oil, cut out the salt, doubled the liquid) and it turned out great. I've also added sliced mushrooms and have used vegan 'no-chicken' broth instead of regular vegetable broth for a more traditional flavor. It's a great gravy recipe for those of us who have gone without for ages! Thanks!
