Method
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the lobsters for about 8-10 minutes until they turn bright red.
- Once cooked, remove the lobsters and let them cool. Extract the meat from the claws and tails, and set aside.
- In the same pot, melt the butter over medium heat and add the onion, carrot, and celery. Cook for about 5 minutes until softened.
- Add the minced garlic and tomato paste to the pot. Stir for a couple of minutes until fragrant.
- Pour in the seafood stock and add the thyme. Bring to a simmer, allowing the flavors to meld for about 20 minutes.
- Using a blender or immersion blender, puree the soup until smooth.
- Return the pureed soup to the pot, then stir in the heavy cream and dry sherry. Heat gently without boiling.
- Finally, add the reserved lobster meat to the bisque. Heat through for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
For an even richer flavor, roast the lobster shells before adding them to the broth.
