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!!!

Oh my, these look and sound delightful! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Kaz! They are very yummy….make me miss being on the cruise! 😀
I loved this soup on our Carnival cruise & actually googled recipes for it when we returned home. I’ve yet to make it though.
I’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 😀
Sounds like a great hot weather soup! Thanks for sharing at Simple Supper Tuesday!
It is sooo nice in the summer! I just love it 😀 Thanks again for stopping by Cindy!

You’re wonderful, Ruthie! It’s such a great feeling to be featured, especially on one of my favorite blogs 🙂 Totally made my weekend seeing that (a couple weeks ago…I’m so behind on comments, it’s terrible of me)! I definitely won’t miss the party, it’s one of my favorites! Hope your weekend is just grand!
OMG! We took a cruise on Carnival in 2001 and this was one of our families favorite dishes served in the dining room. I am SO pinning this and plan on surprising the family with this soon!
I would love for you to link up to my TGIF Link Party! Who knows, you just might be featured next week!

That’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) 😉
Oh So yummy!! It’s almost like a melted ice cream and it Tasted just like the one on the boat. Definitely worth making 🙂
This cold soup is absolutely delicious! You can also use in smoothies!!
