Step 1
Combine potatoes, leeks, and broth in a large pot. Bring to boil, then simmer until potatoes are very tender, about 10 minutes.
Step 2
Remove from heat and let cool for 2 minutes. Blend the soup in batches until completely smooth—no lumps.
Step 3
Stir in cream, lemon juice, and a pinch each of salt and white pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning.
Step 4
Pour into a bowl and refrigerate until cold, at least 8 minutes (or up to 2 days ahead).
Step 5
Ladle into bowls and top with chives. Drizzle with a little cream or good olive oil if desired.
