Ingredients

  • 1 lb expired lobster meat
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 carrot, diced
  • 1 celery stalk, diced
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 4 cups seafood stock
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 bay leaf

  6. Return the bisque to the pot and stir in the heavy cream. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Simmer the bisque for an additional 5 minutes to heat the cream through.
  8. Serve hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley.
