Lobster Bisque Recipe
Ingredients
For the Lobster:
2 lobster tails (or 1 whole lobster)
2 cups seafood or lobster stock
1 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp butter
For the Bisque:
2 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp butter
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 carrots, finely chopped
2 celery stalks, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 tbsp tomato paste
1/4 cup cognac or brandy
1/2 cup dry white wine
3 cups seafood stock or fish broth
1 tsp smoked paprika
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
1 cup heavy cream
Salt and black pepper, to taste
Garnish:
Fresh chives or parsley, chopped
Paprika or chili flakes (optional)
Instructions
1. Cook the Lobster:
Boil lobster tails in salted water for 5-7 minutes until the shells turn red and the meat is cooked. Remove and let cool.
Extract the meat from the shells and chop it into bite-sized pieces. Reserve the shells for stock.
2. Prepare the Bisque Base:
Heat olive oil and butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion, carrot, and celery, cooking until softened (5-7 minutes).
Add garlic and tomato paste, stirring for 1 minute.
Pour in cognac or brandy and cook for 1-2 minutes to burn off the alcohol.
3. Add the Liquids:
Stir in white wine and simmer for 2-3 minutes.
Add seafood stock, smoked paprika, and cayenne pepper. Simmer for 15-20 minutes.
4. Blend the Bisque:
Remove from heat and use an immersion blender to purée the soup until smooth. (Alternatively, transfer the soup to a blender in batches.)
Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve for an extra-smooth texture, if desired.
5. Finish with Cream:
Return the bisque to the pot and stir in heavy cream. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
6. Serve:
Divide the lobster meat among bowls and ladle the hot bisque over it.
Garnish with chopped chives or parsley and a sprinkle of paprika or chili flakes.
Tips:
Enhance the Stock: Add the reserved lobster shells to the stock for extra flavor.
Thicker Bisque: Add 1-2 tbsp of flour or cornstarch if you prefer a thicker consistency.
Serve with crusty bread or crackers for a complete meal.
Enjoy your homemade Lobster Bisque!
