Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Lobster Stock

    In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the lobster shells and sauté for about 5 minutes until fragrant.

  2. 2

    Add Vegetables

    Stir in the diced onion, celery, carrot, and minced garlic. Cook for another 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender.

    Incorporate Tomato Paste

    Add in the tomato paste and mix well, cooking for an additional 2 minutes.

  4. 4

    Deglaze with Wine

    Pour in the white wine, scraping the bottom of the pot to release any browned bits. Let it simmer for about 5 minutes.

  5. 5

    Add Fish Stock

    Pour in the fish stock and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce heat and let it simmer for about 30 minutes.

  6. 6

    Blend the Soup
