Simple leek and potato soup

We're currently on holiday in drizzly North Norfolk.  Snuggled up this evening in front of a log burning stove watching Harry Potter, it's not so bad being on holiday in the rain.  As we only have another day of our holiday left, we're tring to use up remaining food supplies. 

Which brings us to my attempt at what must be the worlds simpliest leek and potato soup.  Here's the ingredients I had available to work with:-

3 medium sized leeks
4 medium potatoes
milk
butter
salt
pepper

I've sauteed the chopped leek and potato in butter before seasoning and adding enough milk to cover the vegetables.  I then transferred to the oven in a baking dish in the hope that by baking the ingredients they will become richer and somehow more tasty. 

The aim is to blend up the baked mixture in aspproximately 10 minutes time when it will have baked for 40 minutes at 200C.  And then we'll be serving up with the garlic bread that needs eating up.

I'll let you know how it turns out!
