Hi-

When I was at the store, I was looking at the gravies. I think that the Campbells Mushroom gravy is ok to eat; whereas the Heinz mushroom gravy contained beef broth. I was just on the Campbells website and they do not list the ingredients. Does anyone know for sure? OR can you reccommend a good vegetarian gravey for Thanksgiving?

Thanks!!!!!
:-)

There's a GREAT mushroom gravy recipe in La Dolce Vegan that I make all the time. In fact, once I tried that recipe, I never made another gravy again! And it's super easy.

If you don't have the book, you can find the recipe online, such as this page (http://www.veggipedia.org/2007/09/29/vegan-mushroom-gravy/). I hope you like it! It tastes less salty and chemically than prepackaged gravy mixes. (of course you can adjust the salt however you like).

I am trying to figure out what gravy to make, and I see a lot of vegetarian recipes for mushroom gravy and was wondering if it was an overwhelming mushroom flavor or if it was more subtle.
any input would be awesome.

The mushroom gravy recipe I posted doesn't have an overwhelming mushroom flavour at all (at least to me). I admit I do like to add fewer mushrooms than the recipe states (2-3 medium white mushrooms rather than 4-6). I also blend the gravy so there are no mushroom chunks left in it.

I like Tofurky gravy if you don't feel like making gravy at all. I get mine at Whole Foods. I'll be getting some tomorrow with my tofurky roast.

... so is Campbell's Mushroom gravy veggie or not? I have a can sitting in my pantry I'm thinking of using.

if you have a can at home, can you read the ingredients?
