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.

30-60 minutes
ingredients
6 cups chicken broth
1 1/2 tablespoon butter
1 cup onion, chopped
2 cups arborio rice
1 package (10 ounce size) frozen asparagus cuts, thawed
1/2 cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes
1 cup grated Asiago cheese
1/2 cup grated Italian blend seasoned cheeses
salt and pepper, to taste
1/4 cup fresh basil, julienne cut (optional)
directions
Bring chicken broth to a boil. Lower heat and keep broth at a low simmer while cooking risotto.
Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion, cook and stir for 3-5 minutes or until onion is softened. Add rice, cook and stir 2-3 minutes or until rice is coated.
Add 1/2 cup broth (broth that is currently simmering). Cook and stir until broth is absorbed. Continue adding broth 1/2 cup at a time, stirring frequently, until broth is absorbed.
Stir in asparagus and sun-dried tomatoes about 5 minutes before end of cooking time (Total cooking time should be about 20 to 30 minutes, and some broth may be left over. Rice should be tender but firm with a creamy consistency).
Remove from heat and stir in cheeses, salt and pepper to taste. And basil, if desired. Serve immediately.

Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.
Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.
