Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Lobster

    In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil and add lobster tails. Cook for about 8-10 minutes until bright red and cooked through. Remove, cool, and extract the meat. Chop into bite-sized pieces.

  2. 2

    Sauté Aromatics

    In the same pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add chopped shallots and sauté for about 5 minutes until soft and translucent. Stir in minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.

  3. 3

    Add Tomato Paste and Wine

    Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 2 minutes to caramelize slightly. Then pour in the dry white wine, scraping the bottom of the pot to deglaze. Let it simmer for about 5 minutes until reduced by half.

  4. 4

    Incorporate Stock

    Add the fish stock to the pot and bring to a gentle boil. Allow it to simmer for 15-20 minutes to develop the flavors.

  5. 5

    Blend the Soup

    Using an immersion blender, carefully blend the soup until smooth. Alternatively, transfer to a stand blender in batches, then return to the pot.

  6. 6

    Finish with Cream

    Lower the heat and stir in the heavy cream. Season with salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper to taste. Add the chopped lobster meat and heat through, but do not boil.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Ladle the bisque into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve hot.
