Does anyone else dream of vacations almost constantly? I sure do – I love remember fantastic trips we’ve taken in the past full of memories (the good, the bad, the hilarious and the downright embarrassing), as well as planning – realistic or not – future ones we can take. Looking back to my remarkably relaxing Carnival Cruise I took with hubby almost 5 years ago, it makes me want to relive it again. In a way I can, with this delicious Copycat Carnival Strawberry Bisque recipe!
You’ll love how easy this strawberry soup is to make, and it’s so tasty you’ll have trouble deciding between having it as an appetizer, snack or even dessert! And yes, I do occasionally have it for breakfast, as well 🙂 Originally shared April 2013, updated February 2017.
Strawberry Bisque Ingredients
- 2 cups Strawberries, frozen
- 3 tbsp. Sugar
- 1 cup Milk
- 2/3 cup Heavy cream
- 1/4 cup Sour Cream
- Fresh mint – for flavoring and garnish
- 1/4 (ish) cup Fresh Strawberries, chopped – for garnish
Directions
- In a blender, puree the strawberries, milk, heavy cream and sour cream until smooth. Stir in the sugar.
- Refrigerate overnight (or about 8 hours). Add mint as a garnish (also adds a great flavor), and also some chopped fresh strawberries, if desired.
On the cruise, they first gave you a bowl that looked like this……
……and then poured the creamy soup over top. Great presentation!
Note: also try it with PEACH instead to change it up a bit!
The fruit soups were so delicious on the cruise, I often got them for dessert as well!!!

April 28, 2013 at 11:26 pmI loved this soup on our Carnival cruise & actually googled recipes for it when we returned home. I’ve yet to make it though.

May 1, 2013 at 3:01 pmI’m so glad I’m not the only one!!! The food was my favorite thing about the cruise (other than sleeping as much as I wanted and not cleaning), and definitely can’t wait to go again on one! Which cruise did you go to? We did the Mexican Riviera 😀

May 17, 2013 at 2:51 amThat’s fantastic!!! I bet it’s one of Carnival’s most popular soups….everyone seems to have heard of it. Where did you go on your cruise? We did the Mexican Riviera….thinking of doing the Western Caribean on our next one (no idea when that will be though) 😉
