Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and sauté for 5-7 minutes until it becomes translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and sauté for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the chopped mushrooms to the pan and cook for about 5-6 minutes until they release their moisture and start to brown.

Add the nutritional yeast, soy sauce, and tomato paste, stirring until well combined.
Pour in the vegetable broth, stirring continuously to incorporate all ingredients.
Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for about 10 minutes to blend the flavors.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with the cold water to create a slurry.
Gradually add the cornstarch mixture to the gravy while constantly stirring to avoid lumps.
