This Chilled Strawberry Bisque recipe is a favorite of mine. I first tried a cold fruit soup on a cruise, and I have loved it ever since. Chilled soups are great for warm weather or as an appetizer or starter for brunch, a luncheon, or dinner. 

Do I have to use frozen strawberries for this recipe?

I have never made this soup without using frozen strawberries.  Frozen strawberries blend well and tend to have a smoother and softer texture than fresh strawberries. Feel free to try this recipe with fresh strawberries and let us know what you think!

What should I serve Chilled Strawberry Bisque with?

This soup can be served with light luncheon food like tea sandwiches or as an appetizer to a heavier dinner like steak. Personally, I also enjoy it as a partner to a summer salad.
