0:27:56 > 0:28:01- ..using ingredients from - the famous cookery school garden.
0:28:06 > 0:28:12- I'm making a French pistou soup.
0:28:12 > 0:28:18- I'll be using courgettes - from the garden.
0:28:18 > 0:28:24- They grow during the night and there - are around 200 here every morning.
0:28:24 > 0:28:28- They're picked first thing in the - morning and brought to the kitchen.
0:28:29 > 0:28:33- We also need tomatoes and basil.
0:28:33 > 0:28:39- This variety is called - the Yellow Submarine.
0:28:39 > 0:28:42- To collect the tomatoes, - just twist and pull them.
0:28:42 > 0:28:46- You're also using basil.
0:28:46 > 0:28:50- The basil is located - right next to the tomatoes.
0:28:50 > 0:28:56- They work well together in meals and - basil repels flies in the garden.
0:29:00 > 0:29:07- Let's start by placing the basil - into boiling water.
0:29:07 > 0:29:13- Leaving it in the water for twelve - seconds will preserve its colour.
0:29:13 > 0:29:18- We then need to transfer the basil - into ice to stop it from cooking.
0:29:20 > 0:29:27- Remove the water - and place the basil in a blender.
0:29:29 > 0:29:35- Next, we'll add garlic - and a high quality olive oil.
0:29:36 > 0:29:43- We also need to season it - with salt and pepper.
0:29:46 > 0:29:51- Next, we're going to make the soup - from the best seasonal produce.
0:29:51 > 0:29:58- Raymond Blanc calls it - the Super Four Seasons soup.
0:29:59 > 0:30:05- You should use your preferred - vegetables that are in season.
0:30:06 > 0:30:11- I'm using jumbo spring onions - that are quite mild and sweet.
0:30:11 > 0:30:17- I've also got a courgette - and different varieties of carrots.
0:30:17 > 0:30:23- These are the White Satin - and Cosmic Purple carrots.
0:30:23 > 0:30:26- I thought they were parsnips!
0:30:27 > 0:30:32- We're used to seeing orange carrots - but these are the original ones.
0:30:35 > 0:30:41- Chop and place the onions - in the pan.
0:30:41 > 0:30:48- Fennel tops are quite fibrous - and they're great for salads.
0:30:48 > 0:30:51- In the winter, they can be dried - and cooked with fish.
0:30:52 > 0:30:55- Whilst the onion sweat, - you prepare the next ingredient.
0:30:55 > 0:30:58- The carrots are next.
0:30:58 > 0:31:02- I'm not making - a Michelin Star worthy meal.
0:31:02 > 0:31:09- This is a homely meal - with a rustic approach.
0:31:09 > 0:31:17- You don't need to add too much - of this ingredient as it's strong.
0:31:17 > 0:31:19- Salt draws out the water - from vegetables.
0:31:20 > 0:31:27- It also softens the vegetables - when you steam them in a pan.
0:31:27 > 0:31:35- It's important to add the salt - at the start of the cooking process.
0:31:35 > 0:31:43- The next ingredients need to be - cooked quickly to retain the colour.
0:31:43 > 0:31:46- I'm going to turn up the heat.
0:31:46 > 0:31:51- I'm also using the water - that I used to cook the basil...
0:31:51 > 0:31:56- ..to add more flavour - and reduce waste.
0:31:57 > 0:32:01- You can really smell the garlic - when I turn the ingredients.
0:32:01 > 0:32:03- The garlic really did - smell wonderful.
0:32:03 > 0:32:05- A few minutes later...
0:32:06 > 0:32:09- Sample the vegetables - to check if they're ready.
0:32:09 > 0:32:15- You can use a blender - to achieve a smooth soup.
0:32:15 > 0:32:20- You can leave the soup as it is - with large chunks.
0:32:20 > 0:32:23- Yes, you can see the ingredients - that have come from the garden.
0:32:23 > 0:32:26- It will give the soup - a different texture.
0:32:27 > 0:32:32- Next, I'm adding the beans - but you can use tinned beans.
0:32:32 > 0:32:36- To finish, add the tomatoes - and courgette flower.
0:32:37 > 0:32:42- Remove the soup from the heat.
0:32:42 > 0:32:45- Don't cook the basil pesto - as you'll lose the colour...
0:32:46 > 0:32:57- ..so add it at the end - along with a dash of lemon juice.
0:32:59 > 0:33:02- It looks wonderful.
0:33:02 > 0:33:03- It looks wonderful.- - It's all ready.
0:33:03 > 0:33:07- My stomach is rumbling - and I'm ready to taste it.
0:33:11 > 0:33:13- It looks wonderful.
0:33:14 > 0:33:15- I want you to be honest.
