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.


2 1/4 cups dried lentils, sorted and rinsed
28 ounces vegetable broth
6 ounces Canadian bacon, coarsely chopped
2 medium carrots, peeled and sliced
1 medium potato, peeled and diced
1 medium onion, chopped
1 medium stalk celery, sliced thin
4 cups water
1 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Add all the ingredients to the crock pot and stir well.
Cover the crock pot and cook on low heat for 8 hours or until the lentils, potatoes, and carrots are tender.
Stir well and adjust the seasoning as needed before serving.

This is really good. This was our family's first time eating lentils and everyone enjoyed it.
