Ingredients

  • 2 lobsters, about 1 1/2 pounds each
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 carrots, chopped
  • 2 celery stalks, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup tomato paste
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 4 cups fish or seafood stock
  • 1 cup dry white wine
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Directions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the lobsters and cook for about 8-10 minutes, until they turn red. Remove the lobsters from the pot and let them cool. Once cool, remove the meat from the shells and chop into bite-sized pieces.
  2. In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onion, carrots, and celery and cook until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for another minute.
  3. Stir in the tomato paste and flour, cooking for a few minutes until the mixture is well combined. Slowly whisk in the fish or seafood stock and white wine, stirring constantly to avoid lumps.
  4. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for about 20 minutes, until the vegetables are tender and the flavors have melded together. Add the lobster meat and heavy cream, stirring to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Serve the lobster bisque hot, garnished with chopped parsley. Enjoy with crusty bread or crackers for a truly indulgent meal.
