Lobster Bisque Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Sauté the Vegetables

   In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onion, celery, and carrot, and sauté until they are softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook for another minute.

2. 2

   Add Tomato Paste

   Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

3. 3

   Pour in the Stock

   Pour in the seafood stock and bring to a simmer. Let it cook for about 15 minutes to develop the flavors.

4. 4

   Blend the Base

   Using an immersion blender, carefully blend the soup until smooth. If you prefer a chunkier texture, blend only part of it.

5. 5

   Add Cream and Lobster

   Stir in the heavy cream, lobster meat, cognac, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Allow the bisque to heat through for about 5 more minutes.

6. 6

   Serve

   Ladle the bisque into bowls and top with a dollop of crème fraîche and a sprinkle of chopped chives.
