I have a bed with several variety of apparently healthy
strawberry plants but they have produced few flowers.

Are soil nutrients the likely culprit? If so, which one(s)?

My Mum has been growing strawberries for over 20 years. I asked her.
She said that if you have used excessive fertiliser you'll have all
leaf and not many fruit. Assuming excessive fertiliser is not the
problem, then go with Sulphate of Potash (use as directed) to encourage
flowering. You disolve it and water over the plants. She uses it to
encourage blooms in her flower garden, too.
