and leeks and saute until tender, about 18 minutes. Add broth and bring to
boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer until vegetables are very tender, about
15 minutes. Puree soup in blender in batches. Place soup in bowl;
refrigerate until cool, about 30 minutes.

Mix buttermilk into soup. Season with cayenne, salt and pepper. Chill until
