Healthified Gravy

Healthified Gravy
Recipe Tip
What is “Healthified”?
We've replaced ingredients with great-tasting alternatives to create better-for-you recipes that are just as yummy as the originals.
Success
Using broth from cooked vegetables is a clever way to add flavor without extra fat. And, the flavor is enhanced more with a secret ingredient—a small amount of reduced-sodium soy sauce.

healthified gravy
dont throw away those vegetables - if you have an immersion blender - use it! it will thicken the gravy and you will not have to use any flour - or very very little. i also add extra carrot - but you can add extra whatever - especially if you are using the immersion blender

So good! And the onions, carrots, and celery are delicious, too! Don't just throw them away!
