Soup Base

Vegetable Garnish

Chantilly Foam

Method

Prepare the Soup

  1. 1

    Cook the Lobster

    In a large pot, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the lobster tails and cook until they turn bright red, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and set aside.

  2. 2

    Make the Base

    In the same pot, add the remaining butter, onion, garlic, celery, and carrots. Sauté until soft, about 5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add Stock and Cream

    Pour in the fish stock and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and add heavy cream. Simmer for 10 minutes.

  4. 4

    Combine Lobster and Vegetables

    Chop the cooked lobster into bite-sized pieces and add it back into the pot. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Prepare the Garnish

  1. 5

    Cook Asparagus and Fava Beans

    In a small pot, bring water to a boil and blanch the asparagus and fava beans for 2-3 minutes until tender. Drain and set aside.

Make Chantilly Foam

  1. 6

    Whip the Cream

    In a mixing bowl, combine heavy cream, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar. Whip until soft peaks form.

Serve

  1. 7

    Plate the Dish

    Ladle the lobster stew into bowls, top with blanched asparagus and fava beans, and finish with a dollop of chantilly foam.
