To make the strawberry soup, cut the strawberries into quarters, add the sugar and marinade for 10 minutes. Place into a suitable sized pan and add the water. Clingfilm the pan and place on the stove and bring to the boil. Cook until the strawberries start to collapse. Remove from the heat and allow to cool. Pass through a fine sieve; do not push through, allow to fall through naturally. Taste, adding extra sugar and black pepper if needed, depending on the ripeness of the strawberries
