Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.
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.

Rich and boozy goodness! Not good for kids or adults on medications but superb for consenting adults! Very moist, tastes divine and so easy to make. A holiday staple from now on!!!
