Copy-Cat Carnival Strawberry Bisque

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 relaxing Carnival Cruise I took with hubby almost 5 years ago, it makes me want to relive it again.
But we don’t need to wait for our next Carnival Cruise to enjoy this amazing dessert soup or McDonalds Hotcake recipe – we can relive it again any time 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 (maybe even the main course)! And yes, I do occasionally have it for breakfast, as well paired with these scrambled eggs. 🙂 It’s super simple. You just need a blender or food processor, add some fresh ingredients, and, viola, bon appetit!

On the Carnival Cruise, they first gave you a bowl that looked like this……

……and then poured the creamy soup over top. Great presentation! (Add some whipped cream to take this to the next level, or even a squeeze of lemon juice if it’s too sweet).

Note: also try it with PEACH or a dollop of your favorite vanilla ice cream, or coconut ice cream instead to change it up a bit!
