Melt 3 tbsp butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the leeks and a pinch of salt and cook until soft, about 8 minutes. Add the garlic for 1 minute.
Add the potatoes, 5 cups water and 2 tsp salt. Bring to a boil, then simmer 15 to 18 minutes, until the potatoes are very tender.
Blend until smooth with an immersion blender (or carefully in batches in a blender).
Stir in the half-and-half, season with salt and pepper, and top with chives.
