Lobster Bisque - IT'S SOUPER GOOD

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

Lobster Bisque and Bisques in general are my favorite kind of soup and this video will guide you through how to make it. When done properly they are packed with great seafood flavor and are as smooth as velvet.
This classic French soup used to always contain crustacean but over time the meaning has changed slightly and is now meant to mean, a pureed soup finished with cream, but let's be honest shellfish are always a welcome inclusion to a meal.
Bisque is all about utilizing the whole product to get as much flavor out of it as possible. The shells are used to not only enhance the flavor but also to help thicken the soup, that's being economic with your ingredients. The meat itself is really only used as a garnish because if you were to put it in the soup as it's cooking it would overcook and lose its sweetness.
This recipe is one that you can easily change around if you'd prefer to use shrimp, crab, crawfish, or any crustacean you like! I hope you give it a shot and enjoy!
Lobster Bisque: (approx. 4 servings)
11/4 lb cooked Lobster
1/2 white Onion
1/2 bulb Fennel
5 cloves Garlic
3 tbsp Butter
3 tbsp AP Flour
156 ml can Tomato Paste
1 L Chicken Stock
1/2 cup White Wine
1 cup Heavy Cream
1/4 bunch Chives

    Yea I'm not a fan of Carrot in it, changes the color and adds to much sweetness, and the fennel basically preforming the role of celery in here but if I didn't have any fennel on hand I'd use celery

Before my wife used to go through everyones shells and eat them, now she puts them aside for me and hands them over with a smile. Thanks for the recipe.

    You can add bell peppers, add rice and flour.. blend ur rice .. raw tomato and tomato puree... this soup will increase in flavour ... this recipe is still better than others 🎉 .. and cognac .. or white wine

    Personally not the biggest fan of bell peppers. They have a very overpowering taste, although Roasted red pepper would definitely add a great smokey flavor, I'd definitely avoid green though, far to bitter. Rice is also a great thickener or I've even used day old mashed potatoes. Cognac and white wine are also great adds, I do throw a splash of cognac and vermouth in m8ne typically but this was just supposed to be a basic recipe for people to build off of so I kept it bare bones. All great suggestions though! 😊

    Is there a way to incorporate the shell flavoring without blending them with the stock? I see recipies that they make their own broth with the shells and just remove the shells. Would that be just as viable? I dont doubt the flavoring with the shells blended this is just for preference

    Yah, you can totally do it like that to. You can add the roasted shells to the chicken stock, let it simmer for 30 mins. It would work just fine, it just takes a little longer and you don't get the added body from the shells essense. Might just need to add a bit more roux

    So I don't know exactly what you mean by "can't take" white wine but alternatively you can use brandy or sherry ir denatured white wine. And as a substitute for cream if it's non dairy you're looking for the only real option is coconut milk but I'd also add more stock and tomato paste to build body and cut the cream in half so it doesn't taste to coconutty

    It changes the flavor of the shell, concentrates it and gives it a slight sweetness from the sugars in the shell caramelizing while baking, also makes it more more brittle so it crushes up well when blending
