Ingredients
- 2 lobster tails, cooked and chopped
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 carrot, diced
- 1 celery stalk, diced
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1/2 cup dry sherry
- 4 cups seafood stock
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chopped fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Sauté the Aromatics: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, carrot, and celery, sautéing until softened (about 5 minutes).
- Add Tomato Paste and Sherry: Stir in the tomato paste and cook for another minute. Deglaze the pot with the sherry, scraping up any bits from the bottom.
- Add Stock and Simmer: Pour in the seafood stock and add the thyme. Bring to a simmer and let it cook for 15-20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
- Blend the Soup: Use an immersion blender to puree the mixture until smooth. For a chunkier texture, reserve some of the vegetables before blending.
- Stir in Cream and Lobster: Return the blended soup to the heat, and stir in the heavy cream and the chopped lobster. Season with salt and pepper to taste, heating gently (do not boil).
- Serve: Ladle the bisque into bowls, garnishing with fresh parsley. Enjoy this luxurious dish with a side of crusty bread.
