Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Sauté Base Vegetables

    In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, celery, and carrot. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are softened.

  2. 2

    Add Garlic

    Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

  3. 3

    Deglaze with Sherry

    Pour in the sherry wine and scrape any brown bits off the bottom of the pot. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes.

  4. 4

    Add Stock and Seasonings

    Add the vegetable stock, bay leaf, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and let simmer for 10 minutes.

  5. 5

    Blend the Soup

    Remove the bay leaf. Use an immersion blender to blend the mixture until smooth. Alternatively, transfer to a blender in batches.

  6. 6

    Add Cream and Seafood

    Stir in the heavy cream, lobster meat, and shrimp. Cook over low heat for an additional 5-7 minutes until the seafood is cooked through.

  7. 7

    Finish with Cilantro Oil

    Drizzle with cilantro oil before serving for added flavor.
