sanger727 Posted August 7, 2017 #2 Share Posted August 7, 2017 I don't recall seeing any on our Jan cruise. There were usually 2 soups per night on the menu - if there were any chilled they were few and far between.

Heronymous Posted August 7, 2017 #3 Share Posted August 7, 2017 I remember hearing about these soups when friends of mine would cruise way before I ever did, but I've never seen them myself. I'm curious to try them if they ever surface! -Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babynurse06 Posted August 7, 2017 #4 Share Posted August 7, 2017 They used to have them every day, and they were fantastic. I haven't seen them in years though. Last cruise I remember having them on was in 2007 or 2008 I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMH15 Posted August 7, 2017 #5 Share Posted August 7, 2017 They had them every day at lunch this past March on Epic in the Epic Club, the suite restaurant. I was very happy. They are refreshing and very delicious. I never went to the buffet so cannot comment on that. I used to see them in the buffet on prior cruises, on accasion.

don't-use-real-name Posted August 11, 2017 #11 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Something on the order of "Vichyssoise" ? A delicious cold potato soup with herbs and spices etc. Have not seen it on any cruise ship that I have sailed on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BirdTravels Posted August 11, 2017 #12 Share Posted August 11, 2017 We were on the Breakaway recently and had chilled soups in the Havens restaurant for lunch daily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nautica34 Posted August 11, 2017 #13 Share Posted August 11, 2017 When I sailed Dawn last year, they had the fruit soups at the buffet during lunch. Sent from my SM-G930T using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marianneyaya Posted August 22, 2017 Author #14 Share Posted August 22, 2017 Just back from the Breakaway....no chilled soups in the dining room or buffet....lunch or dinner. I'll just have to try again next year! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erntrish Posted August 22, 2017 #15 Share Posted August 22, 2017 on 7/23 BA sailing, no chilled soups in MDRs or specialty restaurants. Can't speak for Haven...I ride steerage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare blackwing Posted August 22, 2017 #16 Share Posted August 22, 2017 Something on the order of "Vichyssoise" ? A delicious cold potato soup with herbs and spices etc. Have not seen it on any cruise ship that I have sailed on. I am recently off Celebrity Solstice, and they had quite a number of chilled soups, both in the main dining room and the buffet. I recall a gazpacho, a vichyssoise (I think they just called it leek and potato), a pear and almond soup, and I believe there were others. I don't think I am a fan of the chilled fruit-based soups... to me these always just taste like melted ice cream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely delicious. In the past I've ordered it in place of dessert sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sanger727 Posted August 25, 2017 #20 Share Posted August 25, 2017 NO! You must try it! It's like a milk shake!! SO GOOD! They must call is "soup" because it's liquidy! Yeah. That doesn't make it more appetizing. Not much of a milkshake person, definitely not fruit flavored milk shakes and certainly not at the beginning of my meal. I've tried gazpacho and it's is terrible. Chilled soups are just not for me. Now the potato and leek soup someone mentioned sounds wonderful if they would just stick it in the microwave first [emoji39].

SteveH2508 Posted August 25, 2017 #21 Share Posted August 25, 2017 I am willing to bet that the variation of availability of fruit soups is down to whether the fruit is getting over-ripe in storage. It may not be presentable as fruit but perfectly OK as soup - just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may not be presentable as fruit but perfectly OK as soup - just a thought. Somehow I get this idea that fruit at its most ripen stage is prime to make some high proof alcoholic drink or a candied liquor aka pre-mix for a Mai Tai (151 rum). Soups on - the bar is Open !

Cruise4Twos Posted August 25, 2017 #23 Share Posted August 25, 2017 (edited) They moved the fruit soups to lunch. Not into gazpacho or cold potatoes but I sure do love those fruit soups. Thanks for the info. To me they taste more like fruit purees. Milkshakes That gives me an idea. I can use the soup as a topping on ice cream. I still would like to see them at dinner. They're refreshing after a hot day in port. Edited August 25, 2017 by Cruise4Twos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzydiver Posted February 12, 2018 #24 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Just an update for chilled fruit soup fans. Thanks to tips on this board, I knew to look for chilled fruit soup in the buffet during the afternoon snack time when I was on the Jewel & the Jade in the last couple of years - they had them every day. Just got off the Escape earlier this month, and I looked for them in the buffet area during lunch time several times and didn't see them. However, on our last day on the ship, happened to be in the buffet around 3:30 pm or so, and saw it with a sign "chilled fruit soup of the day". "Of the day"! So it seems they have it every day, but the trick is you do have to wait for the post-lunch afternoon snack time, like on the Jewel-class ships. Just didn't work out with my schedule this time around to enjoy it more than once. (Although I had two bowls of it to make up for it :') - was mixed berry and was yummy.)

DevinScott Posted February 12, 2018 #25 Share Posted February 12, 2018 I too have enjoyed these soups in years past. One time I asked a waiter how they made them and he told me they are basically melted ice cream. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
