I cook with nutritional yeast, which may or may not be the same thing.
But it's really much easier to use a commercially made broth paste that has yeast in it. I use Better Than Bouillion No Chicken or, if that is not available, Vegetable, Base. It comes in little glass jars and is quite strong, so it can last quite a while.
Nutritional yeast is nice if you are trying to make a vegan cheese sauce or a pot pie gravy, but I personally don't find it works very well in soups. It may just be that I don't have the knack of it.
The bean dishes that I make generally call for either a little Liquid Smoke or some toasted sesame oil to make up for the lack of smoked meat flavor. There are also a lot of really delicious vegetarian mock sausage products available, and some of them even stand up to long cooking.
