Soup Base

Method

Making the Soup

  1. 1

    Prepare the Stock

    In a large pot, add the lobster shells and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes. Strain the stock and set aside.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In the same pot, add a little oil and sauté the carrot, celery, onion, and garlic until soft, about 5-7 minutes.

  3. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    Add the strained lobster stock back to the pot along with bay leaves, thyme, salt, and pepper. Simmer for another 15 minutes.

  4. 4

    Blend the Soup

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

  5. 5

    Finish with Cream

    Stir in heavy cream and heat through without boiling. Adjust seasoning to taste.
