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.

Love the spinach dip at restaurants like TGIFriday's and the Olive Garden? Make it at home with these easy-to-follow copycat recipes.
Love buffalo wings? Get that same hot, zippy flavor in everything from deviled eggs to enchiladas. And of course: wings.

This is really not too difficult and extremely delicious! I ended up taking the "pulp" and pureeing with my hand-blender...once is was pureed, I returned it into the soup and continued to hand-blend it (just to be sure it would still be smooth and creamy). It made the soup 10x better!
