14 ounces of low fat, low sodium chicken broth
3 all purpose (cleaned and diced) potato
1 cup of 2% milk
1 tblsp olive oil
1 tsp of smart balance

    Leeks are in the same family as onions and garlic. They kind of look like giant green onions, with a bulb at the bottom and green leaves. They're yummy!
