Lobster Bisque Ingredients

Method

Lobster Bisque Directions

1

Cook the Lobster

In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the lobster tails and cook for about 8-10 minutes until they turn bright red. Remove the lobster tails and let them cool. Reserve the cooking water.

2

Prepare the Base

In the same pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onion, carrot, celery, and garlic. Sauté until the vegetables are soft, about 5-7 minutes.

3

Add Tomato Paste and Wine

Stir in the tomato paste and cook for another 2 minutes. Then add the dry white wine and let it simmer until reduced by half.

4

Add Stock and Lobster

Pour in the seafood stock and the reserved lobster cooking water. Bring to a simmer. Meanwhile, remove the lobster meat from the tails and chop it into bite-sized pieces. Add the lobster meat to the pot.

5

Blend the Soup

Using an immersion blender, blend the bisque until smooth. If you prefer a chunkier texture, blend only half.

6

Finish with Cream and Seasoning

Stir in the heavy cream, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Let it simmer for an additional 5-10 minutes.

7

Serve

Ladle the bisque into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
