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.
Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.

This is a hearty soup for a cold day (or night). I didn't peel the potatoes, but I would to get a more refined soup. I accidently included the evaporated milk before cooking, which didn't seem to hurt the soup at all. I also put this in a food processor instead of a blender and it still required 2 batches.
