Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion to the skillet and sauté for about 5 minutes until it's translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
Add the finely chopped mushrooms to the skillet, and cook for about 7-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they release their liquids and begin to brown.
Season with dried thyme, dried rosemary, and black pepper. Stir for another minute.
Pour in the low-sodium soy sauce and vegetable broth. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and cold water until smooth.
Slowly pour the cornstarch mixture into the simmering gravy, stirring constantly to prevent lumps.
Let the sauce simmer for another 5 minutes, or until it thickens to the desired consistency.
Taste and adjust seasoning with salt if necessary. Serve hot over your favorite dishes.
