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.

Far from your basic, boring veggie soup. Ground almonds add body and richness to the blended fennel broth. Fantastic with some good, crusty bread for a fall lunch.
