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
1/4 cup butter
8 cups sliced yellow onions
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cloves garlic, minced
4 1/4 cups beef broth
1 1/2 cup water
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 small loaf French bread
olive oil, as needed
shaved Asiago cheese
directions
Heat a large saucepan or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the butter and stir until melted.
Add the sliced onions, reduce the heat to medium-low, and cook, stirring occasionally until the onions are soft and starting to turn golden brown (this will take about 20-25 minutes).
Stir in the flour and garlic and mix until no clumps of flour remain. While stirring, slowly add the beef broth.
Add the water, tomato paste, salt, and pepper. Bring the soup to a boil then reduce the heat to a low simmer. Cook, uncovered, for 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
Slice the French bread into 3/4-inch cubes. Brush the bread cubes with olive oil (or use an oil mister). Place the bread cubes on a baking sheet.
Bake at 425 degrees F for 15 minutes or until the croutons are crispy and lightly golden brown. Turn once during the cooking time.
Remove the croutons from the oven and turn the oven to broil.
Ladle the soup into individual heat-proof bowls. Top with a handful of the croutons and freshly shaved Asiago cheese.
Place the bowls on a baking sheet and place under the broiler just until the cheese melts.
Remove from the oven and serve hot. Warn guests that the bowls are hot.

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.

How many onions is 8 cups sliced
Onions vary greatly in size so it's not easy to say how many onions will yield 8 cups. It will also depend on how you slice them, how much waste each one produces, etc.

Tasted like panera bread recipe to us. We used provolone cheese but we will make this again and use the asiago. Very easy and quick to make
