Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Lobster

    In a large pot, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the lobster tails and cook for about 5-7 minutes until they turn bright red. Remove the lobster and let it cool, then chop the meat into bite-sized pieces, reserving the shells.

  2. 2

    Sauté Aromatics

    In the same pot, add the remaining butter and sauté shallots and garlic until softened, about 3-4 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add Tomato Paste and Wine

    Stir in the tomato paste and cook for another minute. Pour in the white wine and cook until reduced by half.

  4. 4

    Add Stock and Lobster Shells

    Add the fish stock and lobster shells to the pot. Bring to a simmer and let it cook for 20 minutes to develop the flavors.

  5. 5

    Blend the Soup

    After 20 minutes, remove the lobster shells and use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth.

  6. 6

    Finish with Cream and Seasoning

    Stir in the heavy cream, cayenne pepper, and adjust seasoning with salt and black pepper. Heat through but do not boil.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Ladle the bisque into bowls, top with the chopped lobster meat and sprinkle with fresh chives. Enjoy!
