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.

I found this recipe many years ago & just rediscovered it recently when a friend asked if I had a chicken tortilla soup recipe. I love this recipe because itâs quick to make with simple ingredients that I typically have on hand. I have served it to various people over the years and everyone has liked it. I donât make it often, but itâs a nice change when I need something quick. Thank you for the recipe.

Additions to this recipe that I use are zucchini (fresh), black beans (1 can), and corn (frozen 1-2 cups) and I serve it with sour cream, avacados, and corn chips ... it is delicious and great warmed up for later.

I double the italian tomatoes, and ususally omit the flour/water mixture, and use lowfat sour cream instead of nonfat. Garnish with extra sour cream,green onions, cilantro..and shredded cheese and avocado if you like. I always make extra tortilla strips for leftovers, they keep for a few days sealed in bags.

This soup is very easy to make and delicious. I add two cans of Italian stewed tomatoes and increase the chicken broth to taste. Sliced zucchini and black beans are a nice addition too.
