Ingredients
Scale
4–6 (6 oz.) wild lobster tails
4 Tbsps unsalted butter
Sea salt, to taste
Black pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
4 garlic cloves, minced
2 green onions, finely chopped
2 carrots, peeled and finely chopped
2 stalks celery, finely chopped
1 teaspoon fresh chopped thyme
1 teaspoon dried parsley
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
2 Tbsps tomato paste
3 Tbsps organic all-purpose flour
¼ cup white cooking wine
1 ½ cups organic heavy cream
4 ½ cups organic veggie stock
1 bay leaf
½ teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a 10-inch or 12-inch oven-safe skillet. Slightly crack the lobster shells, removing most of the meat without detaching the shell completely. Place lobster tails in the skillet, brush with melted butter, and season with salt and black pepper. Bake for 10-15 minutes. Let cool slightly, then remove meat from shells and cut into chunks.
In a Dutch oven, heat butter and olive oil over medium-high heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant. Add green onions, carrots, celery, thyme, parsley, basil, oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook until vegetables are tender. Stir in flour and tomato paste until well combined. Gradually add veggie stock, heavy cream, and white cooking wine, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Use a hand blender to blend the soup until smooth. Add the chunks of lobster meat and the bay leaf. Simmer for another 5 minutes. Remove the bay leaf and serve the bisque hot.
