Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare Lobster Stock

    If using lobster shells, simmer them in water for about 30 minutes to create a rich lobster stock. Strain and set aside.

  2. 2

    Sauté Aromatics

    In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the shallots and garlic, and sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add Tomato Paste and Wine

    Stir in the tomato paste and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Pour in the white wine and let it simmer until reduced by half.

  4. 4

    Add Stock

    Add the lobster stock (or fish stock) and bring to a gentle simmer. Let it cook for about 15 minutes.

  5. 5

    Blend the Soup

    Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth. If you prefer a chunkier texture, blend only half of it.

  6. 6

    Stir in Cream and Lobster

    Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream and lobster meat. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

  7. 7

    Season and Serve

    Season with cayenne, salt, and black pepper to taste. Serve hot, garnished with chopped chives.
