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.

Comfort food made from scratch with the help of your crock pot.

3 pounds chicken pieces
1 medium yellow onion, chopped
2 carrots, chopped
3 stalks celery, chopped
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 bay leaf
1 teaspoon dried parsley
1 package egg noodles
salt and pepper, to taste
Place chicken in a soup pot or crockpot with onion, carrots, celery, garlic, bay leaves, parsley, salt, and pepper. Add enough cold water to cover. Cover and cook over low heat until tender, about 2-3 hours. (4-6 hours on low in the slow cooker)
Remove chicken and bay leaf from broth, and let rest until cool enough to handle. Skin and bone chicken, chopping the meat into small chunks; set aside.
Skim the surface of the broth of fat. Bring soup to a boil over medium high, add noodles and cook until done, about 10 minutes.
Stir meat back into soup and season to taste with salt and pepper.
