Hi Nischa! My favorite dish is the danish dish called "Millionbøf" that my grandma always made - it's kind'a like sloppy joes but on pasta, so also kind'a like bolognese but WAAYYY better. Do you think you could veganize that? :D I mean of course you can, you're amazing, but you know ;)

[@jeaniekurtis1995]

I have to say THANK YOU for making me a better cook. When I first went vegan, my family would barely eat the food I touch. Now, largely because of your videos and recipes, my husband and kids are mostly plant-based and they actually look forward to dinner time.

[@RainbowPlantLife]

This is so incredible to hear, thank you for sharing that with me!

[@georginaburgess]

I don't usually comment on posts but I had to here. I love reading things like this! KZbin, and channels like this, have really changed Vegan/Plant-based home-cooking for the better

[@lifeviz28568]

I'm a 22 (gonna be 23 soon) Indian man living in America to South Indian parents, and you've inspired me to learn cooking and to learn more about Indian cooking from my mom, while also expanding into other cultural foods. I really love how your cooking videos portray multiculturalism and how it's through foods that bring everyone together. Thank you so much and keep continuing the great work for all!

[@uncannievalley]

This is the sweetest, cutest comment. It's really brightened up my day.

[@jennykimball4457]

I've often avoided cooking with squash because I am convinced I'll die in a knife accident...until now. Your microwave tip to soften them? Genius. Thanks!

That’s so thoughtful of you, Thanks for your positive review,How are you and how’s the weather over there?

I’m a white, 27 year old American gal and I knew the song your dad was singing 😂. My sister got me a collection of Bollywood hits when I was a kid because my favorite movie was Lagaan! Hope you’ve seen it 🤓

Are you a time traveller? How did you watch the video before christmas?

[@smiklosovic8971]

@@TotalTimoTime I think the recipe has been on her blog since last year :,)

[@prettyricky5645]

Yoooo the taste test with Nisha's family was genuinely one of the funniest things I've seen in a good long while. Possibly this whole year. And super sweet, too. Definitely making that pumpkin soup cuz I'm like your dad: I like it SPICY! HOT! lmao.

[@RainbowPlantLife]

When he asked me if he could add hot sauce to the mushroom soup, I nearly lost it 😭😂

[@drewdoughan2643]

Nisha, you're amazing. I just made like 4 of your recipes (white bean/kale, risotto, Brussels sprouts, and ofc your brownies) for a dinner party last night and everyone was raving about how good the food was. Here I am finally having them all leave the house lol and I'm watching your next video already thinking about making these soups. Food is so important to family and friends and I think a lot of vegans struggle with being able to enjoy food with the people they love. Thank you so much for helping so many of us be able to enjoy food again with the people important to us. I look forward to continuing to follow you and your recipes!

[@RainbowPlantLife]

Thank you so much for taking the time to share this, Drew! I couldn’t agree more with you on the importance of food and bringing people together. That’s how I fell in love with cooking in the first place as a teenager :) I’m delighted you chose to make so many of my recipes for your party, and are already excited to make these soups!

[@CristinaMolinaYoga]

Ok, so now I am fan-girling, but... I was thinking that if I could only watch one cooking channel on KZbin forever it would be yours. It's just warm, real, funny, endearing. You know what...I am gonna get emotional here... I've been having problems with my appetite (low-appetite) and it might sound stupid, but now every time I am going to cook and seat to eat I put one of your videos to remind me about the joy of cooking and the joy of laughing about yourself while you cook and just the joy of picking your spices, and having good food, and sharing it with the people you love. So I just wanted to say: Thank you, Nisha.

[@RainbowPlantLife]

This was such a sweet comment to read! I am tickled to hear that you love my channel so much. And humbled that my videos have reminded you about the joy of cooking and having fun in the kitchen. Thank you for stopping by to share, Christina!

[@zepzour7391]

a tip for the bouquet garni: if you find your bay leaves cracking apart when you tie the twine, you can either leave them out of the bundle and fish them out of the soup later, or rehydrate them with a bit of water before tieing

[@craigjeffries]

All three of these soups look so good! Kabocha squash is one of my favorite foods ever. The skins of kabocha are edible, so after a recipe like this, I take the skins, toss them in a little oil and spices (I use salt and cinnamon) and throw them in the air fryer and they crisp up kind of like a potato skin. So delicious!

[@heatherkaye8653]

I've been watching your videos for a long time now but this is probably my favorite! I don't know, something about the chaos of the family altogether at the end felt good.

[@RainbowPlantLife]

☺️ that’s so sweet to hear! I loved the chaotic family taste test too.

[@EvanC881]

"I needed a snack" got me. I only cook once or twice a week and on cooking days I rarely have an actual dinner, I just graze as I go 😂

[@RainbowPlantLife]

Grazing while cooking with a glass of wine is one of life’s greatest joys!

[@xyzzy75]

Tip: If you pour from a broth box "backwards" the flow rate is higher and less gloppy. These recipes look fantastic as always.

[@RainbowPlantLife]

Must try this next time, thank you!!

[@Rachel-sv9pq]

This is why videos are so helpful because I had already seen these recipes on your website and was like "meh... next" but now watching this demonstration I'm drooling. Definitely trying that mushroom soup first!

[@RainbowPlantLife]

Ooh, good to know! feedback like this is super helpful.

That’s so thoughtful of you Rachel, Thanks for your positive review,How are you and how’s the weather over there?

Although creamy soups are OK, to my mind there's absolutely nothing as wonderful (particularly in the winter) of a chunky soup like your second recipe: it literally makes my soul sing. Thank you for some fabulous recipes.

I made the mushroom soup as a sauce to go over veggies. It is unbelievably yummy. The fresh herbs and the miso really make a difference. I think I will be making it on a regular basis now. Thank you!

I made the Thai Pumpkin Soup and it was amazing! I'm definitely making it again! 💜

[@Chompchompyerded]

Pro tip: If you have leftover lemon grass, don't throw it out. Put it in a jar of water. It roots very easily, and then you can transplant it into a pot. It will eventually send up more shoots and you'll have lots of FRESH lemon grass! When rooting the lemon grass you should change the water every other day or it will become stinky. Or maybe you like stinky water. Your choice really. Anyway, it's a way to get a little free lemon grass on down the road, and to not be wasteful. Lemon grass does grow quite tall, so you'll want to keep it in a well lit place, probably on the floor. If you give it a big enough pot and leave it to grow for long enough, you can actually end up with quite a lot of it. You will eventually need to harvest it all, but then you can take some and put it in a jar and start all over again. You can also do what I do and have staggered pots which will reach their maximum potential at different times. That way you can always have a supply on hand. If you get a really nice pot to put it in, lemon grass can be quite decorative as a floor plant in a living room or home office. Rotating the pot just slightly every day will ensure that the plant gets a little sun on all sides, and will result in your lemon grass plant growing straight and tall.

[@amandaclare7197]

[@MariaCarbajal1000]

I just made your creamy mushroom soup and it was a hit! I used enoki and cremini mushrooms and dried chantarelles since those were the only options at our grocery store. I love how I can change up the flavour by using different mushrooms. The herbs really add to the soup as well!
