Ingredients
  

For the Base
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil Ideal for sautéing vegetables; butter can also add a unique flavor.
  • 2 cloves Minced Garlic Fresh garlic enhances the bisque's aromatic profile.
  • 1 cup Chopped Onion Provides sweetness and depth; shallots are a great substitute.
  • 2 stalks Sliced Celery Essential for base flavor; no substitutions recommended.
  • 1 cup Diced Carrots Adds sweetness and color but can be omitted for a stricter keto version.
  • 2 tablespoons Tomato Paste Contributes rich umami flavor; sun-dried tomatoes can be a tasty alternative.
For the Soup
  • 4 cups Stock (seafood or chicken) Use low-sodium for better flavor control.
  • 2 teaspoons Old Bay Seasoning A classic for seafood dishes.
  • ½ cup White Wine Enhances overall flavor; can be replaced with more stock for a non-alcoholic version.
For the Creaminess
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream Adds a velvety richness; coconut cream works well for a dairy-free option.
For the Star Ingredient
  • 1 cup Lobster Meat (fresh or frozen) The main protein; opt for high-quality claw meat for best flavor.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large stockpot or Dutch oven, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat for about 2 minutes until shimmering. Add 2 cloves of minced garlic, 1 chopped onion, 1 diced carrot, and 2 sliced celery stalks. Sauté for 8-10 minutes until softened and fragrant.
  2. Stir in 2 tablespoons of tomato paste, 4 cups of low-sodium stock, 2 teaspoons of Old Bay seasoning, and ½ cup of white wine. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  3. Blend the soup using an immersion blender until smooth and creamy. If using a standard blender, cool slightly before blending in batches.
  4. Reduce heat to low and stir in 1 cup of heavy cream. Warm through for about 5 minutes without boiling.
  5. In a separate skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter, add 2 cloves of minced garlic, and stir in 1 cup of lobster meat. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until heated through.
  6. Fold the sautéed lobster into the creamy bisque and simmer for another 2 minutes.
  7. Ladle the bisque into bowls, garnish with fresh herbs, and serve hot.
