Ingredients

2 cooked lobsters, meat removed and chopped
2 tablespoons butter
1 onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 carrot, diced
1 celery stalk, diced
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1/4 cup brandy
4 cups seafood or lobster stock
1 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
Salt and pepper, to taste
Fresh chives, for garnish

Instructions

In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, carrot, and celery. Cook until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the tomato paste and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
Add the brandy and cook for another minute, allowing the alcohol to cook off.
Add the chopped lobster meat and stir to combine with the vegetables.
Pour in the seafood or lobster stock and bring to a simmer. Cook for 20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Use an immersion blender or transfer the soup to a blender to puree until smooth and creamy.
Return the soup to the pot and stir in the heavy cream, paprika, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Simmer for another 10 minutes.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. If the soup is too thick, add a bit more stock or cream to achieve your desired consistency.
Ladle the lobster bisque into bowls and garnish with fresh chives.
Serve hot and enjoy the rich and flavorful lobster bisque.
