In a 6-quart saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the leeks and a heavy pinch of salt and sweat for 5 minutes. Decrease the heat to medium-low and cook until the leeks are tender, approximately 25 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add half of the potatoes and all of the chicken stock, increase the heat to medium-high, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and gently simmer until the potatoes are soft, approximately 45 minutes.
Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the remaining potatoes until they are cooked through, but not completely soft. Slice the bacon into small slices and fry until crisp.
Turn off the heat and puree the mixture with an immersion blender until smooth. Stir in the heavy cream, buttermilk, and some more salt & pepper to taste. Taste and adjust seasoning if desired. Add the cooked potatoes, then sprinkle with chives and bacon. Serve immediately.
