This particular recipe for Lobster Bisque soup is easy to create and very delicious. As a result of the thickness of the soup, a serving of about 2/3 a cup per person will be enough. This easy Lobster Bisque Soup Recipe can easily be made in less than an hour.
Ingredients you need to make this lobster bisque:
  • 2 pounds boiled lobster (takes about 13 minutes to boil 2 pounds of water)
  • 2 1/2 cups fish or chicken stock
  • 1 sliced onion
  • 4 stalks of celery with leaves
  • 2 whole garlic cloves
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1/4 cup soft butter
  • 1/4 cup flour
  • 4 cups heated milk
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1 cup hot cream
  • 2 tablespoons sherry
  • 1/8 teaspoon minced parsley
  • 1/8 teaspoon paprika
Once you have your ingredients ready, step one will be to remove the meat from the lobsters. Next you want to dice the body meat and mince inside the tail and claw meat then put them the side for later. A wonderful way to add flavor to your soup will be to crush up the shells of your lobster to be used when producing the stock.
Now it's time for you to create the stock for your lobster bisque soup. In a medium sized pot, mix up the lobster shell, onion, celery, cloves, and bay leaf. Let this simmer for a half-hour, then strain the stock.
When the stock is just about done you might want to start on the next phase. Cook the flour and butter in a sauce pan for five minutes, ensure that the flour doesn't color within this stage. Slowly pour your heated milk into the mixture and whisk until its combined and add in the nutmeg. After things are all mixed, stir in the strained stock.
When the soup becomes smooth and boiling, you have to mix your lobster meat and sherry and let it simmer covered for 5 minutes. After 5 minutes, turn off the heat and stir in the cream and season with salt and pepper. When you serve, add in the minced parsley and paprika and enjoy.
The best way to serve a lobster bisque soup is with some good bread or crackers. Chilled Chardonnay goes really well with lobster bisque.
