Lobster Bisque Ingredients

Method

Lobster Bisque Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Lobster

    In a pot of boiling salted water, cook the lobster tails for about 8-10 minutes until cooked through. Remove, cool, and extract the meat, then chop it into bite-sized pieces.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onion, carrots, celery, and garlic. Sauté until the vegetables are tender, about 5-7 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add Tomato Paste and Broth

    Stir in the tomato paste and cook for another 2 minutes. Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer.

  4. 4

    Blend the Soup

    Use an immersion blender to puree the mixture until smooth. If you prefer a chunkier texture, blend partially.

  5. 5

    Add Cream and Seasonings

    Stir in the heavy cream, sherry wine, thyme, salt, and black pepper to taste. Simmer for another 10 minutes.

  6. 6

    Incorporate the Lobster

    Add the chopped lobster meat to the bisque and heat through for 5 more minutes.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Ladle into bowls and garnish with additional thyme or a drizzle of cream if desired.
