  • 2 cups leeks – chopped
  • 4 cups low-sodium, fat-free chicken broth
  • ¼ teaspoon cumin

Add the chicken broth, cover and heat under medium low until the potatoes are soft. Carefully, use a hand blender to emulsify the soup. Add cumin and salt and pepper to taste. Serve with a teaspoon of yogurt on top. Goes well with a crusty bread. Click for larger image

    Notes

    The soup can be made a day ahead, refrigerated, and then heated prior to serving. This can easily be vegetarian by substituting vegetable broth instead of chicken broth.
