Traditional Classic Basic Homemade Cream Sauce
Vegan Cream Sauce
- Ingredients
- 1/4 C vegan Margarine
- 1/4 C flour
- 2 cups Unsweetened plain soymilk (ONLY soybeans and water on label)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Melt margarine in saucepan.
- Mix in flour.

Turn it into a GRAVY:
- add 2 T soy sauce
- 1 T broth powder
- 1 t braggs aminos, or kitchen bouquet browning liquid
- mushrooms optional...
- Vegan Sausage or tvp for sausage gravy.
- You can just use water here, instead of soymilk..
Turn it into a cheese sauce
Add a cup or so of nutritional yeast
Tips and ideas:
Some like to use a cashew cream in place of soy milk... add 1/2 c finely ground cashews soaked in water or plain soymilk over night! or use cashew butter
- For best results I strongly recommend Fronteir brand, beefy broth powder, or knorr vegi cubes
- Serve over potatoes, pasta, vegetables.....
- Thin with more soymilk and use as a cream soup base
- Serve with garlic salt and more nutritional yeast, and fresh ground pepper.
- Use less, or no, margarine for reduced fat.... May want to add more broth.
- For richer sauce add 8 oz crumbled soft silken tofu or cubed prepared vegan cheese, such as Follow your Heart cheddar.
- Add vegetables, such as broccoli, mushrooms etc...
- Add lots of garlic for an alfredo sauce.
- Be creative.
