?A banana-raspberry bisque is a type of soup that is made with bananas, raspberries, and cream. It is usually served cold and is a popular summertime dish.
Combine raspberries, 1/2 cup half-and-half, whipping cream, and
powdered sugar in container of a blender; process until smooth,
stopping once to scrape down sides. Pour through a wire-mesh
strainer into a large bowl, discarding seeds. Cover and refrigerate.
Just before serving, combine half of bananas and 2 cups half-and-half
in container of blender; process until smooth. Pour banana mixture
into a large bowl; repeat procedure with remaining 2 bananas and
2 cups half-and-half.
Pour banana mixture into small bowls. Using a squirt bottle,
carefully drizzle raspberry mixture over banana mixture; drag a
wooden pick or knife through raspberry mixture to make desired
design (do not stir). Top with Cinnamon Pound Cake Croutons.
