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.

4 kaffir lime leaves, torn in half

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.

I was trying to find a soup that would taste like the one from our favorite Thai restaurant. This recipe did not disappoint. I make it exactly how the recipe instructs and keep more chili on the side for those who like extra spice. This is a favorite in my household and I've also had several requests for the recipe when I've made it for guests.

This recipe is so easy a caveman could do it!. I was going for the taste of the tom ka gai soup from the best restaurant in town, and this recipe was even better. The only thing the recipe leaves out is the amount of water you should add. The first stages of the recipe when the soup is boiling makes the soup a bit thicker. But you can also just put a lid on the pot. Still it came out fantastic; all my friends loved it!!!
