Instructions
In a blender or food processor, combine the aquafaba, firm tofu, nutritional yeast, tahini, turmeric, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy.
In a large pot over medium heat, warm the olive oil. Add the vegetable broth and bring it to a gentle simmer.
Slowly pour the tofu and aquafaba mixture into the simmering broth while stirring continuously to create soft ribbons of vegan 'stracciatella'.
Reduce the heat to low and let the soup cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
