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 tablespoon canola oil
2 cups chopped onion
2 pounds sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
2 tart apples, cored, peeled, cut into 1-inch cubes
3 cups chicken or vegetable broth
3/4 cup apple juice
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon dried basil
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
directions
In a large saucepan, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook for about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally until tender. Add remaining ingredients, cover partially and bring to a boil.
Reduce heat and simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender. Cool slightly.
In the bowl of a food processor or your blender, puree soup in several batches until smooth. Return the soup to the pan, and heat until warmed through.

Keeping a can of frozen orange juice concentrate in the freezer means you can make more than just orange juice. Try it in a variety of orange-flavored recipes.
Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.

I liked this recipe a lot. Be forewarned however, that this is fairly spicey.One thing that I did to make it excellent was to garnish the final bowls of soup with evaporated milk. Not only did this add decoration, it also provided a really nice taste.
