Lobster Bisque Recipe

Lobster Bisque Directions

1. 1

   Cook the Lobster

   Start by boiling the lobster tails in salted water for about 8-10 minutes until they turn bright red. Remove from water and let cool. Once cooled, extract the meat and chop it into bite-sized pieces, and set aside.

2. 2

   Sauté the Vegetables

   In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped shallots, carrots, and celery, sautéing until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.

3. 3

   Add Tomato Paste and Wine

   Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 1 minute. Then pour in the dry white wine, scraping the bottom of the pot to deglaze, and let it simmer for about 5 minutes.

4. 4

   Add Stock and Seasonings

   Add the lobster stock, heavy cream, thyme, bay leaf, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 20 minutes.

5. 5

   Blend the Soup

   Remove the bay leaf and use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, you can carefully transfer it to a blender in batches.

6. 6

   Finish with Lobster Meat

   Stir in the reserved lobster meat and let it heat through for about 5 minutes. Adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.

7. 7

   Serve

   Ladle the bisque into bowls and serve hot. Enjoy your delicious lobster bisque!
