Steps:
- In a large stock pot melt butter over low heat. Add leeks and onion, cover, and cook for 10 minutes.

- Add chicken stock and bring to a boil, reduce heat and cook, partially covered for 30 minutes.
- Puree soup in blender or food processor and cool.
- Prior to serving add cream. If you are serving this soup warm you need to reheat the soup slowly so that the cream does not change consistency.

Steps:
- Combine the leeks, potatoes, milk, and 2 cups water in a 4-quart pot.
- Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Add 1-1/2 teaspoons salt, reduce the heat to medium low, and simmer until a potato slice falls apart when you poke it with a fork, about 20 minutes. Remove from the heat, stir in the cream, and let cool briefly.
- Purée the soup with an immersion blender.
- Strain the puréed soup. Let cool to room temperature, stirring occasionally to prevent a skin, and then refrigerate until thoroughly chilled.
- Before serving, thin the soup with water or milk if necessary-it should be the consistency of heavy cream. Serve cold, and garnish with chives.

VICHYSSOISE: CHILLED POTATO AND LEEK SOUP
Steps:
- Gather the ingredients.
- In a large pot over medium-low heat add the butter.
- When melted, add the leeks and gently sweat (you don't want them to brown) until they are soft (about 5 minutes).
- Add the potatoes and chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then lower to a simmer.
- Simmer until potatoes are soft and easily pierced with a fork (about 20 minutes). Remove from heat and allow to cool for a couple of minutes.
- Add the mixture to a food processor or blender and puree until smooth. Do this in small batches (no more than half full) as the hot soup creates pressure and can spray out.
- Return the soup to the pot and whisk in the cream. Stirring all the time, bring the soup to a boil and immediately turn down to a simmer. Simmer for about 5 minutes and remove from heat. If the soup is too thick, add a little water or broth.
- Taste the soup and season with salt and pepper.
- Cool quickly to room temperature, cover with plastic, then refrigerate until chilled (preferably overnight).
- Just before serving, sprinkle chives over the top.
