Lobster Bisque

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Base

    In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onion, celery, and carrot. Sauté until the vegetables are soft, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook for an additional minute.

  2. 2

    Add Tomato and Wine

    Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 2 minutes. Pour in the white wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Allow to simmer until the wine is reduced by half.

  3. 3

    Add Stock and Lobster

    Add the seafood stock and bring to a simmer. Stir in the lobster meat, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Simmer for 15-20 minutes.

  4. 4

    Blend the Bisque

    Using an immersion blender, blend the mixture until smooth. Alternatively, carefully transfer in batches to a blender and blend until smooth.

  5. 5

    Finish with Cream

    Stir in the heavy cream and heat through. Adjust seasoning if necessary.

  6. 6

    Serve

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