Lobster Bisque

  BACK

Take it from a tried and true New Englander, someone who grew up on the north shore of New England among the fisherman, lobster bisque will warm the heart of anyone. You don't need a complicated recipe that takes all day long to prepare. You can make a very easy lobster bisque that will make your special someone feel pampered and loved.

Ingredients:

• 3 Tablespoons butter
• 3 Tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1/2 Teaspoon salt
• 1/8 Teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1/4 Teaspoon celery salt
• 2 1/4 Cups milk
• 3/4 Cups chicken stock (chicken soup is NOT the same thing!)
• 1 1/2 Tablespoons minced onion
• 1 1/2 Cups cooked lobster meat, shredded. (You don't have to cook a lobster, you can buy real lobster meat already cooked and shelled in your grocery store)
• 1/2 Tablespoon paprika
• 1/4 Cup light cream

Directions:

• Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat.
• Stir in the flour, salt, pepper and celery salt until well blended.
• Gradually stir in the milk so that no lumps form, and then stir in the chicken stock.
• Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the soup begins to thicken.
• Add the onion and lobster; season with paprika.
• Cook and stir for 10 more minutes.
• Stir in the cream, heat through and serve.

Recommendations:
As the main dish, we recommend the Mango Lobster accompanied with the baked corn.
As a dessert, we recommend the sauteed pears.
