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.


1 small onion, chopped
2 carrots, diced
2 tablespoons butter
3 cans (14.5 ounce size) ready-to-use chicken broth
4 large potatoes, peeled and diced
3 cans (14.75 ounce size) cream-style corn
1 pint half and half
1 teaspoon black pepper
In a soup pot, saute the onion and carrots in the butter over medium heat for 5 to 6 minutes, or until tender.
Add the chicken broth and potatoes. Bring to a boil and cook for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
Add the remaining ingredients and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, or until heated through. Serve immediately.

This Italian cheese is so versatile that it can be used in both sweet and savory recipes from cheesecakes to lasagnas.
It may look like a sad little package shoved in the back of your freezer, but frozen spinach actually has a lot of culinary uses (and some may surprise you).
