Lobster Bisque Recipe

Lobster Bisque Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Lobster

   In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Add the lobster tails and cook for about 8-10 minutes until they turn bright red. Remove them from the pot, let them cool, and then extract the meat. Chop the lobster meat and set aside.

2. 2

   Sauté the Vegetables

   In the same pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are softened.

3. 3

   Add Garlic and Tomato Paste

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

4. 4

   Deglaze with Brandy

   Carefully pour in the brandy, scraping the bottom of the pot to deglaze. Allow it to simmer for about 3-4 minutes until the alcohol has evaporated.

5. 5

   Add Stock

   Pour in the fish stock and bring the mixture to a boil. Lower the heat and let it simmer for 20 minutes.

6. 6

   Blend the Soup

   Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth. If you prefer a chunkier texture, blend only half of the soup and leave the rest as is.

7. 7

   Incorporate Cream and Seasonings

   Stir in the heavy cream, salt, and black pepper. Add the chopped lobster meat and heat through for another 5 minutes.

8. 8

   Serve

   Ladle the bisque into bowls and garnish with chopped chives. Enjoy your luxurious lobster bisque!
