• 1 teaspoon Herbes de Provence
• 1 teaspoon salt

Bisque:

• 4 tablespoons butter
• 1 cup yellow onion
• 1 cup carrots
• 1 cup celery
• 4 cloves garlic
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 1/2 cups dry white wine
• lobster stock
• 1 cup heavy cream
• salt and pepper

How To Make Lobster Bisque Recipe?

1. Make Lobster Stock: Split the lobster tails and remove the meat. Add the shells to a pot with seafood stock, water, Herbes de Provence, and salt. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 15 minutes. Add the lobster meat and simmer for another 5 minutes until cooked. Remove the lobster meat, chop it, and refrigerate.
2. Cook Vegetables: In a large pot, melt butter over medium-high heat. Add the chopped onion, carrots, and celery. Cook for 5-10 minutes until soft. Add garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes.
3. Add Tomato Paste & Flour: Stir in tomato paste and cook for 1-2 minutes. Sprinkle in the flour and cook for 2 minutes, stirring to avoid burning.
4. Deglaze with Wine: Pour in the wine, stir to deglaze the pan, and let it simmer for a few minutes until the liquid thickens.
5. Add Lobster Stock: Strain the lobster stock into the pot, discarding the shells. Stir to combine and simmer on low for 30 minutes.
6. Blend Bisque: Remove from heat. Use an immersion blender or regular blender to purée the bisque.
7. Finish Bisque: Stir in the cream and chopped lobster meat. Heat through and season with salt and pepper.
8. Serve: Serve hot with crusty bread.

Recipe Tips:

• Use Fresh Lobster: Fresh lobster gives the best flavor, but if you use frozen, make sure it’s thawed properly before cooking.
• Strain the Stock Well: Always strain the lobster stock to remove any shell fragments, ensuring a smooth bisque.
• Don’t Overcook the Lobster Meat: Cook the lobster meat just until it turns red and opaque. Overcooking can make it tough.
• Stir Constantly When Adding Flour: When adding flour to the vegetables, stir constantly to avoid burning and ensure the mixture thickens evenly.
• Simmer for Full Flavor: Let the bisque simmer for at least 30 minutes to allow all the flavors to develop and meld together.

How To Store & Reheat Leftovers?

• Refrigerate: Cool the bisque to room temperature before storing it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
• Freeze: Freeze the bisque for up to 3 months after cooling.
• Reheat: Heat the bisque on the stove over low to medium heat, stirring occasionally until hot.
