Cooking Instructions

Prepare the Lobster Stock

In a large pot, combine lobster shells and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes.

Sauté Vegetables

In a separate pan, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Sauté onion, celery, carrot, and garlic until softened, about 5-7 minutes.

Combine and Simmer

Strain the lobster stock into the pot with the sautéed vegetables. Add tomato paste, salt, and pepper. Simmer for an additional 15 minutes.

Add Sherry and Cream

Stir in dry sherry and heavy cream. Bring to a gentle simmer, then add lobster meat and tarragon. Cook for another 5 minutes.

Blend and Serve

Blend the bisque until smooth using an immersion blender or a countertop blender. Adjust seasoning as needed and serve hot.
