Delicious. Very good and authentic tasting. I used light coconut milk to keep the calories down (the full fat stuff is delicious but too fattening for me). I did cut the fish sauce down a little, just under 2 tbsp, maybe like 1 1/2. I was afraid it would be too strong otherwise. Instead of slicing the ginger I grated it as I really love ginger flavor mixed with coconut milk.

This was a very easy soup to prepare, and my dinner guests loved it! Went great with an Asian main dish and salad. Also did not take long to cook and I made it while we enjoyed potstickers. Would def do again.

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.
