Note
This recipe yields approximately 1 1/2 cups of gravy.
For a richer flavor, you can substitute the water with chicken or beef broth.
If the gravy is too thick, add a splash more water or broth. If too thin, simmer for a few extra minutes to reduce.
This gravy can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop, adding a little water if needed to restore consistency.
Ensure the pan is not too hot when adding the soup to prevent scorching; medium heat is ideal for stirring in the ingredients smoothly.
