Directions:
- Chop the leeks into small pieces.
- In a 6-quart saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter.
- Add the leeks and a heavy pinch of salt and sweat for 5 minutes. Decrease the heat to medium-low and cook until the leeks are tender, approximately 25 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add the potatoes (double potatoes if you'd like) and the vegetable broth, increase the heat to medium-high, and bring to a boil.
- Reduce the heat to low, cover, and gently simmer until the potatoes are soft, approximately 45 minutes.
- Turn off the heat and puree the mixture with an immersion blender until smooth.
- Stir in the heavy cream, buttermilk, and white pepper.
- Taste and adjust seasoning if desired.
- Sprinkle with chives and serve immediately, or chill and serve cold.
