Lobster Bisque Recipe

Lobster Bisque Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Base

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

2. 2

   Add Garlic and Tomato Paste

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

3. 3

   Deglaze the Pot

   Pour in the dry white wine, scraping any bits off the bottom of the pot. Allow the wine to reduce by half, about 3-5 minutes.

4. 4

   Add Stock and Seasonings

   Add the seafood stock, salt, black pepper, thyme, and bay leaf to the pot. Bring to a simmer and let cook for 20 minutes.

5. 5

   Blend the Soup

   Remove the bay leaf and use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. You can also carefully transfer the soup to a blender in batches.

6. 6

   Add Cream and Lobster

   Stir in the heavy cream and lobster meat, heating through for about 5 minutes. Adjust seasoning if necessary.

7. 7

   Serve

   Ladle the bisque into bowls and serve hot, garnished with a drizzle of sweet corn butter and roasted tomatoes.
