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
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cups coarsely chopped onions
6 cups vegetable broth or water
1 1/2 cup brown lentils
1/3 cup coarse bulgur
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 clove garlic, pressed
3 cups finely diced plum tomatoes, seeded
1 1/2 teaspoon dried mint
1 1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup minced fresh parsley
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
directions
Over medium-high heat, heat 1 tablespoon of oil in cooker. Cook onions, stirring frequently, for 2 minutes. Add broth and stir well to scrape up any browned bits sticking to the bottom of cooker. Add lentils, bulgur, and red pepper flakes.
Lock lid in place. Over high heat, bring to high pressure. Lower heat just enough to maintain high pressure and cook for 10 minutes. Quick-release pressure. Remove lid, tilting it away from you to allow any excess steam to escape.
Stir in garlic, tomatoes, additional tablespoon of olive oil, mint, and salt. Simmer until garlic looses its raw taste, about 2 minutes.
At this point, add a bit more mint if you feel it's needed. Blend in parsley and lemon juice. Taste and add more parsley and lemon juice if desired. Serve in large soup bowls.

Love the spinach dip at restaurants like TGIFriday's and the Olive Garden? Make it at home with these easy-to-follow copycat recipes.
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 is a marvelous soup. Refreshing and delicious. It works with canned stewed tomatoes, but is much better with fresh.
