Raw Lobster Tails: This meat is what will bring in the flavor of the whole dish! Water: This will be the base of your lobster stock. Butter: I like to use unsalted butter in this recipe.Shallot: Similar to an onion, you will mince up this shallot before putting it in your recipe. Carrots: I slice large carrots that have already been peeled.Celery: The stalks can be chopped up into whatever size you rprefer. Just make sure that they are all similar in size so that they cook evenly. Garlic: Using minced garlic brings a delicious flavor to the lobster. Fresh Thyme: You will mince up some to put into the bisque and you should also save a few stems for garnish on top. Tomato paste: You don’t need much of this but it adds to the velvety texture of the bisque. Flour: I used all-purpose flour in this recipe. Dry White Wine: A dry white wine is a wine that isn’t sweet and has a high acidity. Heavy Cream: When you mix this in with the stock, you start to get a creamier texture. Salt and Pepper: Use these to enhance the flavors of the recipe.

How to Make Lobster Bisque

Before mixing the bisque, you will need to make your lobster stock! I have detailed all of the steps for you so that your lobster bisque turns out perfectly!

Lobster Stock

Bisque

Add the lobster meat last: This is an important rule to follow! If you add it in too soon then the lobster continues to cook in the bisque and becomes rubbery. Adding it in just before serving will make the texture perfect!Thicker consistency: To make your bisque thicker then continue simmering it unil it reaches the desired consistency. If you want a thinner bisque then add some more lobster stock. Seasonings: Feel free to flavor your bisque to your liking! You can add more fresh thyme, or even a ½ teaspoon of Herb de Provence or dried Italian seasoning. They would both work and would be a lovely addition.

In the Refrigerator: Once your lobster bisque has cooled then you can place it in an airtight container. Put it in your fridge and it will last 2-3 days.To Reheat: Reheat your bisque on the stove on medium heat until warmed through. Enjoy!
