Steps:
- In a medium saucepan, heat the stock over medium high heat. Add the leeks and potatoes and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes.
- Puree in blender, then return to saucepan. Stir in the heavy cream.
- Puree avocado in the blender.
- If serving hot, be sure to stir in the avocado just before serving, since heat can make the avocado bitter.
- If serving cold, allow the soup to cool completely, then stir in the avocado puree and refrigerate.
- Garnish with chopped chives or cilantro.
