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 ;)

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!

[@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

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!

[@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 😭😂

[@katielouise210]

every time i think i can't adore your family more they step it up another level

[@RainbowPlantLife]

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

[@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!

[@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!!

[@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!

[@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?

​@@RainbowPlantLifecan definitely second this opinion! Seeing a video ALWAYS makes me more excited to try it-i think I like seeing the process and how not-complicated it is!

[@maaike9402]

@rainbowplantlife Your website is so complete and after a video I often check the written recipe and description for the cooking itself. And find many delicious options there as well. But please never stop your inviting and happy videos.

[@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

[@kayakdog4884]

I make the thai squash soup and it was 10/10 amazing. I got the lime leaves online from a farm in Texas that ships produce (ungassed) The leaves were amazing and so well packaged. I feel that they made the soup. The leaves keep in the freezer. Definitely make the peanut crunch for the toping, delicious

[@RainbowPlantLife]

So happy you enjoyed the Thai squash soup! And so great you got some lime leaves. They’re such a unique ingredient and I want more people to be able to experience them!

Mushroom stems and bits and pieces can be frozen for use in flavoring stock etc. Or you can dry them out and pulverize them in a spice grinder or blender. (Of course I know that the presenter knows this, my comment is intended for the young people watching at home.)

[@buddhism_practice]

Hi, Nisha, I just became your fan recently and I really like how you utilize cooking skills, food and spices from different countries! I wanna recommend three nutrional ingredients that is used in Chinese cuisine , one is kelp, good source of minerals and can add an umami flavour to the soup; one is wood ear(黑木耳) , VERY VERY rich in iron, the monk always include them in their vegan diet; the last one is fried beancurd roll(響鈴卷), super tasty, super fast to made as it's aleady fried, and contains over 37% of protein. I think these three ingredients are not hard to find as they all comes in dried package (forgive my English, I mean they are all dry). Once again thank you for your amazing videos, and to whoever reading this comment, have a good day!

[@Scor-ah]

Super good Mushroom soup, I make this all the time when I go for long bike rides. I just pop it in a thermos and take a slice of hearty bread. It is also great to add a bit of cooked wild rice and greens at the end of cooking.

[@EdelweisSusie]

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.

[@sebytro]

The recipes are one thing, the cooking is another, but you including your family and close ones in the video is absolutely heart warming and fantastic! Much love and warm wishes to you and them.

[@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.

[@Norma-SabiKik-uu8fk]

Amazing tips, thank you!! I'll get on this next time I have some lemongrass in the house :)

Comment #2 on this video! I have now made all three and they were great! Today I made the Thai Basil and ironically, while I couldn’t find Thai basil locally, it was still terrific! I don’t use oil much so I used my go-to for replacement cashew butter which was kinda glunky but it still worked out. I did use a touch of avocado oil on the rims of the kobochis. I feel like this and the mushroom wet restaurant quality. The lentil was hearty and yummy. Thanks for your wonderful recipes!
