    Ingredients

    Instructions

    Ingredients

    • 1 lb North Coast Seafoods Premium Cold-Water Lobster Meat
    • 4 Tbsp butter
    • 1 medium onion, diced
    • 2 celery stalks, diced
    • 2 carrots, diced
    • 3 cloves garlic, minced
    • 2 Tbsp tomato paste
    • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
    • ½ cup dry white wine
    • 4 cups seafood stock (or fish stock)
    • 1 cup heavy cream
    • 1 bay leaf
    • 1 tsp paprika
    • Pinch of cayenne pepper (optional)
    • Salt and pepper, to taste
    • Fresh chives or parsley, for garnish

    Instructions

    1. Sauté the Aromatics - Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion, celery, and carrots. Cook 5–6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until veggies soften. Add garlic, then cook another minute.
    2. Build the Base - Stir in tomato paste and cook 1–2 minutes to deepen its flavor. Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir well to form a roux. Let it cook for 1 minute.
    3. Deglaze with Wine - Pour in the white wine, scraping the bottom of the pot to release any browned bits. Let simmer for 2–3 minutes.
    4. Add Stock & Seasonings - Add seafood stock, bay leaf, paprika, cayenne (if using), and a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 20 minutes.
    5. Blend Until Smooth - Remove the bay leaf. Use an immersion blender to puree the bisque until smooth. (Or carefully transfer to a blender in batches.)
    6. Stir in the Lobster & Cream - Add the Premium Cold-Water Lobster Meat to the pot, reserving a small portion for garnish. Stir in the heavy cream. Simmer on low for 5–7 minutes to warm the lobster and meld flavors. Avoid boiling.
    7. Serve & Garnish - Ladle into bowls and top with reserved lobster meat and fresh herbs. Serve warm with crusty bread.
