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 have found a few things with this recipe that I like to modify. 1) I prefer it with a little more broth. So I do 1 Cup of Chicken Broth, and 1/2 cup of White Wine, in place of the 1/2 cup of port wine. 2) I also like adding pickled artichoke hearts (They are the unfrozen kind bottled in a slightly vinegar solution! Yum Yum Yum!
