Make a heavy blond roux.
Step 2¶
Remove the medium saucepan from the heat and slowly whisk in 2.5 cup of vegetable broth along with minced mushrooms.

Return the saucepan to the heat and bring the sauce slowly to a simmer, whisking to prevent lumps. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring often and skimming any skin that forms on the surface, until thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 20 minutes. Do not boil.

Just before serving, whisk in softened unsalted butter or any flavored butter.
