Ingredients

• 2 lobsters, about 1 ½ pounds each
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 onion, chopped
• 2 carrots, peeled and diced
• 2 celery stalks, diced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• ¼ cup tomato paste
• ½ cup dry sherry
• 4 cups fish or seafood broth
• 1 cup heavy cream
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Chopped fresh chives for garnish

Instructions

1. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, carrots, celery, and garlic. Sauté until the vegetables are soft and fragrant.
2. Add the paprika and tomato paste, stirring to combine. Cook for an additional 2 minutes.
3. Pour in the dry sherry to deglaze the pot, allowing it to simmer until slightly reduced.
4. Remove the lobster meat from the shells and set aside. Add the lobster shells to the pot, followed by the fish or seafood broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 30 minutes.
5. Remove the lobster shells from the broth and discard them. Use an immersion blender to carefully blend the soup until smooth.
6. Return the soup to the heat and add the heavy cream. Chop the reserved lobster meat into bite-sized pieces and add them to the soup.
7. Simmer the bisque for an additional 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
8. Serve the Elegant Lobster Bisque hot, garnished with chopped fresh chives. Pair with crusty bread or oyster crackers for a delightful meal.
