This easy homemade miso gravy recipe is made from vegetable broth, nutritional yeast, and of course, miso. Vegetarian gravy doesn't have any animal fat to add flavor, so you have to add extra flavor and seasonings, in this case, in the form of soy sauce, nutritional yeast, and most importantly for this recipe, miso. But the process of making a meat-free gravy is very similar to making gravy from animal drippings: you thicken up the core ingredients using flour, cornstarch (or, in this recipe, both), and plan on doing lots of stirring to get rid of any lumps. Just like a regular gravy, this vegetarian gravy will thicken slightly as it stands and cools, so consider that when adding extra cornstarch or liquid.

The Spruce / Sonia Bozzo
Combine miso and water and whisk together until miso is completely dissolved in the water. You can also heat water up a bit first in order to speed up this process.

The Spruce / Sonia Bozzo
In a large skillet, melt vegan margarine over medium-low heat and whisk in flour until a paste forms.

The Spruce / Sonia Bozzo
Add miso-water mixture, vegetable broth, soy sauce, nutritional yeast, and black pepper. Stir to combine very well.

The Spruce / Sonia Bozzo
Allow to cook over low heat until thickened, stirring frequently. Just like when making a non-vegan gravy, you will need to do a lot of stirring to avoid any lumps forming as the liquid thickens up.

The Spruce / Sonia Bozzo
Add cornstarch slurry, if needed, to make the gravy even thicker. But don't forget that your gravy will thicken slightly as it cools, just like a meat-based gravy.
