🍂🦞 Weekend Recipe: Cozy Creamy Lobster Bisque
Looking for something warm, rich, and a little luxurious this weekend? This Creamy Lobster Bisque is perfect for a cozy fall evening at home. Serve it with warm crusty bread and enjoy! 🍞🍷
🦞 Ingredients
1 lb cooked lobster meat, chopped
3 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 small onion, finely diced
1 carrot, finely diced
1 celery stalk, finely diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons tomato paste
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
½ cup dry white w**e (optional)
3 cups seafood or lobster stock
1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
½ teaspoon smoked paprika
½ teaspoon dried thyme
Pinch of cayenne pepper (optional)
1 bay leaf
1 cup heavy cream
Salt & freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
Fresh parsley or chives for garnish
🍲 Directions
Melt 2 tablespoons butter with the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion, carrot and celery and sauté for about 5–7 minutes until softened. Add the garlic and cook for another minute.
Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 1–2 minutes. Sprinkle in the flour and stir until everything is well combined.
Slowly add the white w**e, stirring and scraping up the flavorful bits from the bottom of the pot. Let it simmer for 2 minutes, then gradually stir in the seafood stock.
Add the Old Bay, smoked paprika, thyme, cayenne and bay leaf. Reduce the heat and gently simmer for 20–25 minutes.
Remove the bay leaf. For that classic silky bisque texture, carefully blend the soup with an immersion blender until smooth.
Stir in the heavy cream and chopped lobster. Cook over low heat for about 5 minutes—don't let it boil. Finish with the remaining tablespoon of butter and fresh lemon juice. Taste and adjust the salt and pepper.
Ladle into bowls and top with a few beautiful pieces of lobster, fresh parsley or chives, and a little cracked pepper.
Cozy Tip: Serve with toasted garlic bread, buttery crostini or a warm baguette for dipping. 🤎
Weekend comfort food doesn't get much better than this! 🦞🍂
