1/4 teaspoon pepper |
2 cups onions, finely diced |
2 teaspoons canola oil |
2 tablespoons garlic, minced |
8 cups vegetable stock |
2/3 cup tamari |
2 teaspoons rubbed sage |
1 teaspoon dried thyme |
2 teaspoons salt |
1 teaspoon pepper |
1 1/2 cups flour, browned (see note) |
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley |
