4 cups chicken broth, reduced sodium (or vegetable broth, reduced sodium)

2 potato(es), russet, large

1 leek(s), large

1 onion(s), large

1 cup buttermilk, low fat

1/3 cup parsley, fresh, chopped

In a large saucepan, bring the broth, potatoes, leek and onion to a boil over medium high heat. Cover and cook for about 25 minutes or until the potatoes are very soft.
