Lobster Bisque Recipe

Lobster Bisque Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Base

   In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, celery, and carrot. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.

2. 2

   Add Flavor

   Stir in the tomato paste and cook for another 2 minutes. Pour in the dry white wine and allow it to simmer for about 5 minutes, letting the alcohol evaporate.

3. 3

   Combine Ingredients

   Add the fish stock, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes.

4. 4

   Blend the Soup

   Using an immersion blender, carefully puree the soup until smooth. If using a regular blender, allow the soup to cool slightly before blending in batches.

5. 5

   Finish with Cream and Lobster

   Stir in the heavy cream and lobster meat. Allow the bisque to heat through for about 5 minutes. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.

6. 6

   Serve

   Ladle the bisque into bowls, drizzle with tarragon oil, and serve with slices of fried bread on the side.
