Lobster Bisque Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Sauté the Vegetables

   In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, carrot, and celery. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened.

2. 2

   Add Garlic and Tomato Paste

   Stir in the minced garlic and tomato paste, cooking for an additional 2 minutes until fragrant.

3. 3

   Incorporate Sherry and Stock

   Pour in the sherry and scrape the bottom of the pot to deglaze. Add the fish stock and bring the mixture to a simmer.

4. 4

   Add Lobster Meat

   Once simmering, stir in the fresh lobster meat. Cook for about 10 minutes until the lobster is heated through.

5. 5

   Blend the Mixture

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

6. 6

   Finish with Cream

   Stir in the heavy cream and season with salt and black pepper to taste. Heat through but do not bring to a boil.

7. 7

   Garnish and Serve

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