Notes
- Make this soup in one pot by cooking the ingredients in layers.
- To avoid clumps with the flour or nutritional yeast, whisk or blend the flour and nutritional yeast into the vegetable broth before adding it to the soup.
- Once the flour and nutritional yeast are added to the soup, let the broth thicken by stirring it into the ingredients before serving.
- Use gluten-free pasta for a gluten-free option.
- Since this is a Tex-Mex soup, I suggest serving it with a southwest salad and cornbread.
- This fajita soup recipe stays fresh for up to five days in the refrigerator.
