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.

Bring a medium pan of water to a boil. Add the orzo and cook about 9 minutes. Drain and set aside.
In a medium-size pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and saute 5 minutes. Add garlic, bell pepper and a tablespoon of water. Cover pan and cook 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the cumin and oregano; stir 1 minute. Then add tomato juice and broth. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Put the cooked orzo and black beans into the pot. Simmer 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. (If the soup seems too thick, add a little water.)
Season with the parsley, cilantro, pepper and salt.

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.
