Man, I wait for that little whisk every time. I love it.
🙌🏾🙏🏾
We always had leftover soup during the week growing up. It was good filling and saved our parents food budget to feed 7 of us❤
😍 amazing! and spot on! does wonders on the budget. thanks for sharing!!
Good for the soul too☺️
Eating at a local spot here in San Antonio, I saw a server bring out a huge industrial size whisk ( to stir simple syrup into their tea), I laughed, fondly thinking of you. You are good for my OCD too lol, cleaning & cooking at the same dang time 🍀
😂 great short story! I love it. sounds like they need to be part of the baby whisk club! 🤗
For the yeast flavor, Marmite (a beer yeast) is available at most grocery stores and is a game changer for soup and stew flavor. You will be very happy you tried it.
🙌🏾 love that! thank you so much for sharing!
Your talk at the end is very informative and doesn't impose on the cooking segment of your video. Love it!
It's not lies... It's love :). Love is Moms secret. So enjoy a good Minestrone! Appreciate that you sautéed all those ingredients before adding all the liquid. Was relieved to see the garlic. :). And the sound effect when the web address popped up... ALRIGHT! Stay amazing! PEEEAAAAAACCCCCCE!
You're right, its so true! As we grow we realize moms love is of a magnitude we could only wish to understand but can always sit/think back and be amazed!
Red Hat , Red Watch , Red Knife Classic - What A Fabulous Episode - I Definitely Appreciate The Edits And Angles For Sure - But The Afterwards Recap Is Brilliant - Can't Thank You Enough For Explaining All The Options And Why What Is Added When - Totally Makes Sense
Stay Groovy ,
Cheers
🙌🏾 🙏🏾 right back at ya!
Yo! I’ve been watching your older videos mostly (I’m new to the vegan life). I personally appreciate you adding the ingredient quantities on the side of the screen. It beats having to scroll through the adds and entire life stories that the bloggers put on their recipe pages.
As you were making this, I thought, that sure looks like my minestrone soup...but I use Ditalini pasta. And I love how you film the preparation, especially when you couldn't find where the tiny whisk was hiding 😊
Hello Nard, I saw your video yesterday & I immediately ran to the grocery store to pick up a few items to make this yummy homemade Minestrone soup. This & vegan broccoli cheddar are 2 of my favorite soups. Thank you so much for the details! I paired it with sourdough bread.
This is crazy, I have been in a minestrone state of mind for a few days and finally took the time to simmer some this afternoon! This was a great video that added a few ingredients I must try next time!
Soup looks great! You got a new induction cooktop! Do you like it better than your old one? You guys inspired me to get that one. I like it but it can be noisy sometimes. I’m not getting a new one til it stops working.
Yes, take out food is SO salty! I’d much rather cook from home so I can control how much salt goes in my food.
I did! this one is REALLY nice but also been saving to get it for a while as its REALLY expensive. has a ton of great features and benefits. I like it a lot! but if I wasn't doing this as often as I am, I wouldnt have purchased it.
I so agree. You really dont even know how much sodium/salt you're ingesting. among other ingredients. Cooking at home is always a win! ❤️
Delicious 20° weather stuff. 😋
And YES!! to jazz music while cooking. 🙌🏾
More, more, more!! 🎵🎷🎹
🙌🏾 more to come!
Awesome Sunday morning thought provoking for the ‘use ups’ in the fridge! I’ve already been pondering what to make today or tomorrow to use that up, including what is left of red wine from dinner last night. 😂 thanks again, for inspirations for my week’s planning! 🙏🏻🫶🏻✌🏻xx
🙌🏾 Oh MY!!! this recipe is so perfect for fridge/pantry clean out! along with adding that red wine 😂. seems this landed at a great time for ya! 🫶🏾
A tip if you want to waste less paper towel: you can use rubber drawer liner to help hold your cutting board in place. You can get them in large rolls and cut them down to size. They also are super helpful to get a bit of extra leverage when opening stubborn jar lids!
I've never made your recipes (busy mom), but every time I see the thumbnail, it just looks SOOOOO incredible. Can you just cook for us??? 🤤🙃
I’m making this today! Looks delicious! Me, my husband and my cousin love your recipes!
From cooking at home for so long, I don’t miss salty foods. The flavors of the veggies come out more. Minestrone is great to live off all week
🙌🏾 love this! couldn't agree more.
Looks so delicious 😊
This soup looks amazing! When I make soup like this at the end of cooking I will take a cup out and blend it in my vitamix and add it back to create a creamy base.
This looks like my perfect soup!
That looks so good, a huge pot of fresh deliciousness ❤
🙌🏾
Absolutely marvellous for taste and health! I’m going to take this out in a thermos in the day! Can’t wait to make. Thanks for the lesson Mr Nard! 🎉
Goodmorning this soup looks so delicious 😋 I'm definitely going to make it will mash it alittle and cut veggies in smaller pieces thanks so much for another soup recipe I'll be making this over and over just like I do your delicious 😋 😊🎉tomato soup until next week❤🎉😊
🙌🏾 so happy this one works for ya! ❤️
Ahhh! So fulfilling to watch . I love a great soup and has made an amazing soup myself. I have to try this recipe too, i cant wait. Thanks for sharing.:)
🙌🏾 cant wait for you try! 🤗
Loved the jazz in the background. Brewer's yeast - that's interesting. I'm always looking for that extra little something, so will be trying this.
right!? had no idea.... I think im going to dig more into it to figuring out a bit of the science and process 🤗
This soup is Delicious! I subbed green beans for the zucchini, added some fresh sliced mushrooms and a couple cups of leftover shredded cabbage. The lemon juice was the best finishing touch, and I did not want to add extra salt at thd table (unusual for me). Thank you, Andrew!!
I'm here for the baby whisk. And, of course, the recipe!
My new favorite channel
You are 100% the best cooking channel on CZcams! Thank you! ❤
I already had minestrone on the menu for this week! But I'm taking some inspiration from this (love the julienned carrots idea, and I've never used lemon juice to finish a minestrone). Thanks, Andrew!
🙌🏾 I love citrus acid often when finishing stews/soups (many dishes actually). Outside of the added benefits of taste, its a great boost of vitamin C, helps with iron absorption, appetite control, etc. ❤️
I made this today. Delicious!
I made this soup for my 5 person family and it was a hit with all except my 15 year old son. He doesn't like beans or tomatoes. I didn't even ask hom to try it.😂 But everyone else loved it.❤
🙌🏾 love that!
😂 I know when I was a teenager I had my mind made up about EVERYTHING! then I got past those years and realize I had no idea eventing I was missing.
thanks for trying it out!! ❤️
This soup was hearty & DELICIOUS
I have all of these ingredients right now. MAKING THIS!! Thanks so much.
I just made it! SO GOOD AND FLAVORFUL!! Thx!!!!
FANTASTIC!!!
This turned out great. Subbed some Thai chili paste for tomato paste! Thanks for the recipe!
Just made this after watching and it’s so good 😊 awesome video! I added wine.
thank you for this amazing recipe
Outstanding video!! Thank you so much! I will be making your minestrone recipe this week for sure! 😊
🙏🏾❤️ thank you so much!! cant wait for you to enjoy!! 🙌🏾
Made this yesterday was a winner ❤
Love your channel and the food you cook fella, thumbs up from me 👍👏
The best minestrone soup ever. Thanks ❤
A good soup feeds the soul, too. Yum! 😋❤️
Marmite is a game changer in vegan cooking and makes it taste more flavorful. I love it and that reminds me to get some next month, I don't have much left.
Mushrooms, spices, yeast, lemon/lime, vinegar/wine, soy sauce, are just great to give the right flavor. My grandma taught me to use a little sugar when you make something hearty and salt when making something sweet. It just balance the flavors much better.
Greetings from Germany 🌶️ an old girl and new follower. Love how you explain how cooking works 💚
Thanks for the recipe. I made this tonight and got a thumbs up from my non-vegan family. And I love having enough leftovers to freeze for later and also for lunch tomorrow. :)
Thanks!
I used to drive a truck for a commisary that made most foods for Olive Garden Canada. All Soups were made in a central kitchen and then shipped to the restaurants. I specifically remember the soup because it was a real issue shipping without spilling. Air tight out of a remote kitchen is tough, more so 25 years ago. All Olive Gardens up here are long gone. But you are correct, most restaurant made soups are way too salty...Going to try this recipe later this week . I think your videos and recipes are awesome.
I must try making it one day
Thank you for all your great recipes...I am now more plant based and have not had red meat, dairy or artificial sugars in almost 3 months and I feel great. Wish I had of switched along time ago.
😍 LOOK AT YOU!!! how amazing!? 🙏🏾 Love this so much for you!!! ❤️
Thank you so much.
I am Italian and I can assure italian food is much more than pizza & pasta - Try the "ribollita toscana" ;-) - Thanks - Best regard
oh my! I just looked it up and now I need to figure out how to make it. thanks so much, it looks delicious! 🙌🏾
Olive Garden's minestrone is vegan, but if you are vegan rather than vegetarian and/or allergic to dairy, you should ask at restaurants because many places may put a parmesan rinds in for the umami and faint fermented flavor/aroma
thanks for sharing that!
This looks SO good - can't wait to try it. Question: will this freeze well (including the pasta)?
Que colorido,que maravilla
In this type of soup, I add a TBSP vinegar to add that punch on first taste.
Love me some mine a strone!
😂 you caught my dad joke.
Daaaamn!
🙌🏾🙌🏾
Baby whisk agrees with the karate chop move too 😂...bye salt pile!
😂 this true! I could feel the appreciate for the karate when give baby whisk its bath. ❤️
Minestrone is a great dish to make even non-vegetarian guests happy.
You need less salt when the ingredients are fresh and of high quality. Therefore I would prefer "Your-a-Strone"😋
😂 well said!! ❤️
One thing I would recommend: don't put the zucchini in with the other vegetables. Instead fry it in a pan until it has a very good colour and put it in the soup right before serving. That way, it has more flavour and a better texture. (In my opinion, so that's what I usually do.)
I love your recipes! You have helped me to start going more plant based - thank you! Having chronic kidney disease, I need to limit tomatoes because of the potassium. How can I adapt this recipe[e using less tomato?
Hi, I love soups, I would add cilantro and Ginger...but well, I always add them to soups.
Thanks and peace
@NardDog
Will you please 🙏🏾 tell Me your beard care routine Broski,
Gratitude for all the phenomenal dishes
of course! I use aloe vera (I have plants), for my skin. rub it on under all the hair. Shea butter on my hair along with coconut oil. I wash my beard about 2 - 3 times a week. no special shampoo/conditioner. But maybe focusing on ones for my hair type (thats vegan and has basic ingredients) when shopping for something.
Gratitude Broski ,I’m on it 👍🏾
oh this looks delicious thank you so much. i would love to see some recipes using silken tofu will you please consider it?
Yes I will! I try to make things based on demand, popularity, etc. of the ingredients and keep it more budget conscious. ill add silken tofu to the list and test options to create in the future. 🙏🏾
Ditto on this as my health requirements need me to increase my protein intake.
Minestrone 💚
Andrew, two questions:
1. I can’t eat tomatos. What is a good substitute for them, if any? Love ‘em, but my stomach lining does not.
2. Can I add nutritional yeast instead of brewer’s yeast to the recipe?
All of your dishes look healthy and delicious 😋
Thank you 🙏 for doing what you’re doing. Helps me a lot!
Hey!
1. You can substitute the tomatoes for roasted red peppers. The texture is really similar all the taste is very different. This recipe also has tomato paste. You could blend the roasted red peppers for a similar effect. There's not really a perfect substitute for tomatoes or tomato paste if you're allergic or your body doesn't agree with them but this is kind of the closest you will get.
2. The brewers yeast is an optional add in. If you like you can leave it out. Nutritional yeast would bring more of a cheesy flavor. Which may not be a bad idea if you want to avoid adding any store-bought plant-based Parm. But eating the soup without the yeast addition is really good.
thank yo so much, for trying them out! ❤️
@@thenarddogcooks
Thank you for taking the time to reply. I have substituted the red peppers for tomatoes, and have been mostly happy. Appreciate you!
Hello 👋.. Do you have any beet meal recipes?? I love beets and have to eat and juice them for health reasons.
I wonder what your version of Vegan Gumbo would look like.
I gotta see that some day man
thats been a tough one to work on. but I be coming back to it here and there to test. seems it gets a lot of flavor from various protein add ins. im still working to figure it out!
Hey! I'm not a big fan of diced tomatoes, if those are left out would you recommend to add more tomato paste?
Where did you get those cool little tin cups? Those are pretty sweet
ikea! they're awesome. love using them for dipping sauce and stuff too!
In real life are you as neat and orderly with your Mise en place as you are in these videos?😂😂
I make this soup using barley instead of pasta 😊
😍 yum!
I need a cookbook from you. Does one already exist?
❤❤❤❤❤❤
❤️❤️
The baby wisk needs its own agent 😂
Can I cook this the same way in a crock pot or slow cooker? I'm a Trucker that's been Vegan going on 7 yrs now. Ty
really!? thats amazing!
for sure! the pasta is gonna be you're indicator of when its all done. 1 - 2 hours on high and 3 - 4 hours on low. check the pasta starting about 1 hour in for the high temp and 3 hours in on low. 🙏🏾
Great northern beans are not something I’ve heard of..as a UK northerner I like the idea though,😊
Yea?! they seem really similar to cannellini beans. 🤗
They may add bread or bread crumbs instead of yeast.
Whete is the pot from?
its from Brandani. I got it at a store called Home Goods for a great price.
Minestroooooone.
I think once you limit your salt, your taste buds adjust.
Just made this and added some extra red pepper and Cajun seasoning for a kick. Wow!!! This is one of the best soups I’ve ever made. Amazing recipe. With some parmesan (it wasn’t vegan cheese sorry) on top, it was a great touch. I also added the lemon and that was great too. Just a wonderful recipe thanks for the video! (I also used chickpea pasta and that’s really good too)
All good food is just onions, garlic and olive oil. It's a conspiracy I tells ya.
Enjoyed your Video

Great recipe!
Only table salt is bad, it only contains sodium and chloride which raises blood pressure.
Natural salt like celtic and himalayan contain 80+ minerals which do not raise your blood pressure.
And its pronounced minestroneeeeeeee!😊
Thanks for sharing!
also was told it was pronounced "Mine - a - stro - nae". 🤦🏾♂️ ill get it right someday! ❤️
Lekker. I covet your beard and voice.
Nice beard pimp.
skip the oil and salt. Let you taste buds evolve, your arteries, heart and kidneys will thanks you.
Just dont eat that much
Yes. They do add wine. Its a red wine. No yeast. 💜📨
Oh.... SUMAC!! Have you cooked with sumac? 💜
A great salt replacement when you want the dalt taste without the actual salt! 💜
OK I was just telling myself I wanted soup today. (looks over should for Andrew) thank u sir 🏃🏾♀️ to store* 😆🫡
😂 I got ya back! 🙌🏾
@@thenarddogcooks It turned out great thanks again 💐
Great recipe Nard Dog! I made this and it was more delicious the second day than the first. I did not make enough. I’ll definitely be making this again.
Love watching your vids. Even if I never make the recipe! So relaxing and love that u have jazz in the background. It's our fav kind of music. I will try this soup recipe , though , cause it looks easy and in our house, we're lazy cooks!!
Same
Thanks so much 😊! Lazy cooks, LOL. I completely get it. Hope you get to enjoy the soup ❤️
