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
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chopped fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, carrot, and celery. Sauté until the vegetables are soft and fragrant.
- Add the flour to the pot and stir well to coat the vegetables. Cook for 1-2 minutes to cook off the raw flour taste.
- Gradually pour in the seafood stock, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Add the bay leaf and bring the mixture to a simmer.
- Add the expired lobster meat to the pot and simmer for about 15-20 minutes until the lobster is heated through.
- Remove the bay leaf from the pot and transfer the mixture to a blender. Blend until smooth and creamy. Alternatively, use an immersion blender directly in the pot.
- Return the bisque to the pot and stir in the heavy cream. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Simmer the bisque for an additional 5 minutes to heat the cream through.
- Serve hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley.
