Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Cooked lobster meat, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 stalk Celery, finely chopped
- 1 medium Shallot, finely chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 3 cups Seafood or chicken stock
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Cognac (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
In a large pot over medium heat, melt the butter.
Add the chopped celery and shallot to the pot and sauté until softened, about 3–4 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the tomato paste and paprika to the pot, stirring well to combine and cook for 2 minutes to develop the flavors.
Pour in the seafood or chicken stock, scraping any bits off the bottom of the pot, and bring to a simmer.
Reduce heat to low and let the soup simmer for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. If you don't have an immersion blender, carefully transfer the soup to a countertop blender in batches and blend until smooth, then return it to the pot.
Stir in the heavy cream, chopped lobster meat, cognac (if using), salt, and black pepper.
Simmer on low for an additional 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the soup is heated through and the lobster is tender.
Taste the bisque and adjust the seasoning as needed.
Serve hot in bowls, garnished with freshly chopped parsley.
