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.

- #53948

30-60 minutes
ingredients
1 can (28 ounce size) stewed tomatoes
2 1/2 cups fresh okra
2 1/2 cups fresh cut yellow corn kernels, cob scraped
2 1/2 cups water (more as needed)
3 slices bacon, crisply fried and crumbled (optional)
directions
Drain tomatoes, reserving liquid, and chop or crush tomatoes into 1/2-inch pieces.
Cut stem ends and tips from okra pods and discard. Cut okra into 1/4-inch slices.
Combine reserved tomato liquid, tomatoes, okra, and corn in a 4-quart pot and stir to combine. Add enough water to make a nice consistency, but not too thin.
Over medium heat, bring soup to a simmer. Cook, uncovered, 20 minutes.
Stir crumbled bacon into soup just before serving, or sprinkle on top of individual servings as a garnish. Serve piping hot with freshly baked cornbread.
NOTE: This soup freezes well.

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