Add the leeks and onion, stirring frequently and sauté, until translucent, about 8-10 minutes. Add potatoes, chicken stock and a good pinch of Kosher salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are tender. Remove from heat and blend - using an immersion blender or blend in batches. Add the sour cream and heavy cream and stir to combine. Season with salt and white pepper. Let cool to room temperature. Serve with a garnish of drizzled Fustini's 12 year white balsamic and chopped chived.
