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.

ingredients
1/4 cup olive oil
5 celery stalks, chopped
1/2 cup chopped shallot
1 bunch scallions, chopped (green and white parts)
1/2 teaspoon garlic, chopped
2 cans (28 ounce size) tomatoes (good quality such as Muir Glen)
1 quart vegetable broth
1/2 bottle dry white wine (optional)
1 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons lime juice
2 tablespoons chipotle sauce (to taste)
1 1/2 teaspoon Mexican oregano
2 bay leaves
directions
Heat the oil in a heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Add the celery, shallots, scallions and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to caramelize, about 10 minutes.
Add remaining ingredients, tasting as you add the chipotle sauce. Bring to a boil and then drop the heat to low and simmer for 35 to 40 minutes.
Remove the bay leaves and puree, either in a food processor or with an immersible blender, until smooth. Salt and pepper to taste.

Love buffalo wings? Get that same hot, zippy flavor in everything from deviled eggs to enchiladas. And of course: wings.
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).

This soup is almost there. It still needs something else to put it over the finish line. I like it well enough to keep sampling other ingredients. I don't have mexican oregano - which might make a big difference - so I use "regular". It just seems a little bitter with a bit of an aftertaste. I've added a couple teaspoons of sugar, which helps, but I think next round I'll put in a few carrots. My 2.5 year old daughter loves it - and I'm a big fan of Chipotle so we'll keep trying.
