Quick Lobster Bisque

MAKES: 5 cups

COOK TIME: 25 Min

It's so easy to cook lobster that our Quick Lobster Bisque is a great way to switch things up any night of the week. Get that water boiling!

What You'll Need

2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons minced onion
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3 cups milk
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1/2 cup dry sherry or seafood broth
1 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon paprika
1 cup chopped, cooked lobster meat (about 1 pound)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives

What to Do

In a soup pot over medium heat, melt butter. Saute onion 1 minute, or until tender. Add flour, stirring until blended. Cook 1 minute, stirring constantly. Gradually add milk, whipping cream, sherry, salt, and paprika; bring just to a simmer.
Cook uncovered 15 to 18 minutes, or until slightly thickened. (Do not boil!) Stir in lobster and chives and cook 2 to 3 minutes, or until heated through; serve immediately.

1/1/17. Made this with leftover lobster from New Years Eve. Absolutely delicious, easy to make, and does not make a ton of soup! Yikes is this good. Added cooked potato, corn, carrott, and 1/8 teas. White pepper.

My suggestion is to use leeks instead of onion and sub 1 cup of chicken broth for the sherry and to add some chopped red pepper.
