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.

This could easily be called "a little bit of everything" soup with its unusual but delicious blend of flavors.
1 1/2 pound ground beef
1 onion, shredded
2 potatoes, cubed
5 cloves garlic, minced
4 (8 ounce size) tomato sauce
1 can corn, undrained
1 can peas, drained
2 cans green beans undrained
2 tablespoons barbecue sauce
2 tablespoons steak sauce
2 shakes Worcestershire sauce
2 cans (16 ounce size) chicken stock
salt and pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon cumin
1 tablespoon dry mustard
Combine the ground beef, onion, potatoes, and garlic in a Dutch oven and cook until the beef is no longer pink. Drain off any excess fat.
Add the remaining ingredients and cook over medium heat for 1 1/2 hours or until the potatoes are tender and everything is cooked through.
Serve hot.

A can of cream of mushroom soup can be a real dinner saver. It works great in casseroles and can turn into a sauce or gravy in a pinch.

Seemed a little weird to add barbecue sauce to a soup but you know what I think it was the best idea ever! Good hearty soup. Try it, you'll be happy!

This is an awesome easy to make soup that is great for those cold winter days....I mixed things up a bit and took out the peas and added chopped cabbage instead. I also subbed beef broth for the chicken stock. I also boiled some small egg noodles to pour the soup over...however you really don't need them...this is a really hearty soup!! Will def make again!!
