Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 small onion, coarsely chopped
2 garlic cloves, chopped
3 tablespoons fresh thyme, chopped
pepper
1 1/2 cups vegetable broth
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 (15 ounce) can navy beans, drained and rinsed
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1/4 cup water
salt

Directions

1

Saute the onion and garlic in the olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat for 5 minutes. Add the thyme and pepper, and cook for 3 minutes more.
2

While this cooks, mix the flour into the broth thoroughly. Pour this into a blender with the beans and soy sauce and blend until smooth.
3

Add the onion and garlic mixture to the blender and blend until the onion no longer has any big chunks visible.
4

Once smooth, pour the mixture back into the saucepan and cook over medium heat until thickened. Reduce heat to low.
5

Make the gravy thinner, if you like, by adding water and stirring until evenly mixed. Add salt to taste.
