Method
In large saucepan, heat oil over medium-heat; fry leeks, onion, salt and pepper, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes.
Add zucchini, potato and 4 cups (1 L) water; bring to boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes.
In batches, transfer to blender or with immersion blender, purée until smooth. Return to pan. Stir in cream and lemon juice, adding more lemon juice, if desired. (Make-ahead: Let cool for 30 minutes. Transfer to airtight container; refrigerate, uncovered, until cold. Cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours; reheat over medium heat without boiling.)
Garnish: Top each serving with lemon slice; sprinkle with chives.
