Guest Recipe: Vegetarian Mushroom Gravy

This is one of the Guest Recipes from my family and friends. 

The following is from D, a friend, who sent pics and notes for this recipe.

 

I made a vegetarian mushroom gravy yesterday and I think it would be good as a "cream" of mushroom soup, too! Here is the recipe I used and below are the adjustments I made!

Vegetarian Mushroom Gravy

Adjustments:

• Used a little butter with the olive oil
• Whole onion (instead of half)
• White Mushrooms instead of portobello
• Instead of straining it, I blended it up with an immersion blender (regular blender or food processor are probably fine too)
