Using a blender instead of a food processor makes this soup especially velvety. It's great hot but it would also be good served chilled in warm weather.

5 cups chicken stock or low-sodium broth
1 pound carrots, coarsely chopped
2 medium celery ribs, coarsely chopped
1 large onion, coarsely chopped
1 leek, white and tender green parts only, coarsely chopped
1 small baking potato (6 ounces), peeled and coarsely chopped
11/2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon sweet paprika
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 cup low-fat buttermilk or yogurt
Salt and freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons coarsely chopped flat-leaf parsley

In a large pot, combine the stock with the carrots, celery, onion, leek, potato, cumin, paprika and cayenne and bring to a boil. Cover and simmer over low heat until the vegetables are tender, about 15 minutes.
Working in batches, puree the soup in a blender or food processor, then return to the pot. Stir in the buttermilk and season with salt and pepper. Reheat gently. Ladle into bowls, sprinkle with the parsley and serve.
