This iconic whiskey is a "Jack of all trades" when it comes to cooking. Toss it in some pasta, as a savory dipping sauce, and even bake it into something sweet.

Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.
The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.

The taste is fabulous. I used frozen turnips because my grocery store did not have fresh rutabagas (yellow turnips everywhere except in Maryland.) An immersible blender saves time over doing the batch processing in the recipe. It works well as a low-fat recipe using fat-free half and half. Perfect while recovering from bariatric surgery. I added protein powder and it was still a nice thing soup
