Melt butter in a large soup pot over medium heat. Add leeks and celery. Cook and stir for 5 minutes, until vegetables begin to soften.

Add broth, potatoes, carrots, thyme, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes.

Working in batches, transfer soup to a blender or food processor and puree until smooth. Return to pot. Stir in buttermilk and dill. Serve hot!
