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.

This pureed white bean soup with plenty of garlic and onions is delightful with a drizzle of olive oil and a hunk of good, crusty bread.

ingredients
5 cups canned cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
4 cups sliced yellow onions
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus additional to serve
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 large branch fresh rosemary, 6 to 7 inches long, plus more for garnish, if desired
2 quarts fresh or canned chicken stock
1 bay leaf
brown sugar
kosher salt
freshly ground black pepper
white pepper
directions
In a large stockpot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onions, sprinkle with a pinch of brown sugar and salt, and slowly cook until translucent, about 10 to 15 minutes.
Add garlic and bay leaf and cook until garlic becomes fragrant, about 5 minutes. Add beans, rosemary, and stock. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for about 30 to 40 minutes. Remove rosemary branch and bay leaf.
Run the soup through the coarsest blade of a food mill, or process in a food processor or blender (in batches, if necessary) until coarsely pureed. Return to the pot and bring to a gentle simmer.
Check seasonings, adding more salt and pepper (black and white) as needed. Serve hot, garnishing with a drizzle of olive oil and rosemary sprig, if desired.

Love buffalo wings? Get that same hot, zippy flavor in everything from deviled eggs to enchiladas. And of course: wings.
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.

I would cut the onion down by half and then I could give it five stars.

This is a delicious soup. Very fresh flavors and not as heavy as some bean soups are. I did omit the white pepper and brown sugar as I didn't feel either of those would be of any benefit to the final taste.
