Step 1
Cut potatoes into 1-inch cubes. Slice leeks crosswise into 1/2-inch rounds, rinse well between layers.
Step 2
Melt butter in a large pot over medium-high. Add leeks and cook until softened and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
Step 3
Add potatoes, broth, and milk. Bring to a boil, then simmer until potatoes are very tender, 8 minutes.
Step 4
Blend soup in batches (or use an immersion blender) until completely smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
Step 5
Pour soup into a bowl and chill in the freezer for 5 minutes, or refrigerate up to 2 hours before serving.
Step 6
Ladle into bowls and garnish with fresh chives, crispy shallots, or a dollop of crème fraîche.
