Ingredients

  • 1 lb (450g) lobster meat, cooked and chopped (can use lobster tails or claws)
  • 4 cups seafood or vegetable broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine (optional; can substitute with more broth)
  • 1/2 cup onion, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup celery, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
  • Lemon wedges (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Sauté the Vegetables: In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, celery, and garlic. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are softened and fragrant.
  2. Add Tomato Paste and Spices: Stir in the tomato paste, dried thyme, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another 2 minutes to enhance the flavors.
  3. Add Liquids: Pour in the white wine (if using) and cook for 2-3 minutes until slightly reduced. Then, add the seafood or vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a simmer.
  4. Blend the Soup: Using an immersion blender, blend the bisque until smooth. If you prefer a chunkier texture, blend only half of the soup or pulse it briefly.
  5. Add Cream and Lobster: Stir in the heavy cream and add the chopped lobster meat. Simmer for an additional 5-10 minutes until heated through. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
  6. Serve: Ladle the bisque into bowls, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the top.
