Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Sauté the vegetables

    In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, celery, carrot, and minced garlic. Sauté until the vegetables are softened, about 5-7 minutes.

Cooking

  1. 2

    Add stock and spices

    Pour in the fish stock and add the saffron threads, bay leaf, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

  2. 3

    Cook the seafood

    Add the lobster meat and shrimp to the pot. Simmer for 10 minutes until the shrimp are pink and cooked through.

  3. 4

    Blend the bisque

    Remove the bay leaf. Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. If you prefer a chunky texture, you can leave some pieces intact.

  4. 5

    Finish with cream and aguardente

    Stir in the heavy cream and aguardente. Heat through for another 5 minutes, then adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.
