Lobster Bisque Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Sauté the Base

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

2. 2

   Add Garlic and Tomato Paste

   Stir in the minced garlic and tomato paste, cooking for another 2 minutes until fragrant.

3. 3

   Add Stock and Lobster

   Pour in the fish or seafood stock, bring to a simmer, and then add the chopped lobster meat. Simmer for 10 minutes.

4. 4

   Blend the Soup

   Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth. If you prefer a chunkier texture, blend just half of it.

5. 5

   Finish with Cream and Seasoning

   Stir in the heavy cream, créme fraîche, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Allow to heat through for an additional 5 minutes.

6. 6

   Serve and Garnish

   Ladle the bisque into bowls and garnish with caviar, chopped chives, and a drizzle of paprika oil.
