Method

Cooking Directions

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.

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.

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.

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.

Blend the Soup

Using an immersion blender, blend the mixture until smooth. Alternatively, carefully transfer it to a blender in batches.

Finish with Cream and Seasoning

Stir in the heavy cream, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Garnish and Serve

Serve hot garnished with fresh parsley.
