How to Make Fresh Lobster Meat Bisque

With the price of lobsters lower this season this is an excellent time to splurge on buying one lobster at the grocery store and serving lobster bisque to four people for dinner tonight. The steps for this appetizer soup are very easy to follow and yield a gourmet treat that needs to be served hot and almost immediately after preparation. I hope you try and enjoy my recipe for Fresh Lobster Bisque.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Lobster
• Cream
• Butter
• Flour
• Milk
• Salt
• Paprika
• Flour
• Parsley

1. In a medium size cooking pan place 4 tablespoons of butter. Turn heat on low and melt the butter. Next:add to the pan 3 tablespoons of finely chopped fresh onion. Cook onion on low heat in butter until softened.

2. The next step is to add to the cooking pan 2 tablespoons of flour and stir constantly until blended. Next add the following ingredients to the pan: 3 cups of milk, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1/4 teaspoon of paprika, and 1 cup of heavy cream. Cook on low heat until mixture thickens, and remember to stir the mixture constantly so it will not burn or stick to the bottom of your cooking pan.

3. Add to the pan the meat of one lobster and 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh parsley. Warm. Serve immediately in 4 decorative soup bowls.

Tips & Warnings

• Light cream may be substituted for heavy cream.
