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.

This chicken and rice soup is as "set it and forget it" as it gets. Plenty of chopped veggies help make up a savory soup that's a whole meal in a bowl.

Had plenty of flavor and the rice was fine cooking it on high for 4 hours. I think you have to cook rice and pasta on high for less time instead of on low as I've had better success that way.

Cookd this on high and it turned out good the rice wasn't too mucshy but I do like softer rice more like canned soup yummy!
The first time I tried this the rice turned to complete mush and ruined the dish. It also lacks flavor. Tried it a second time and added a bay leaf, thyme and sage, with cooked rice at the end and it came out perfect.

When is the rice added to the soup? Do you add it along with the vegetables and chicken??
