Flavorful, easy gravy. Not too heavy with a perfect texture. I use it all the time with all kinds of different flavored broths.... highly recommend!

I have made this many times and it's always delicious! It's my "go to" gravy with any type of meat. One of the things I love about this gravy is that you don't have to have any pan drippings and it sounds really weird but I think the soy sauce is what makes it taste great. I do use the low sodium too. Great recipe!

A great all-purpose gravy. Just the slightest touch of soy makes it really stand out, wonderfully savory. Needs to cook longer than the recipe instructions to become thick.

I made this on Thanksgiving Day for two of my guests who were vegetarian. It was outstanding! I needed to use a wire whip at one point to eliminate lumps, but they disappeared, leaving a smooth silky sauce. It was a rich brown from the soy sauce, but I really couldn't taste the soy sauce flavor. I'm not vegetarian, but I'll be using this gravy from now on!
