Lobster Bisque
- 1 medium onion chopped fine (shallots
may be used)
1/2 cup butter
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups chicken broth
- 1/4 teaspoon white pepper
1 (11-ounce) can frozen lobster meat (or fresh lobster meat can
also be used. I use more as I like a lot of lobster in my Bisque.)*
3/4 cup sherry (do not use cooking sherry)
3 cups light cream
2 tablespoons tomato paste for color
- Saute onions in butter until onions are
clear 2 to 3 minutes.
- Stir in flour with a whisk and stir well
until smooth Add chicken broth and pepper; cook, stirring constantly,
until thickened. Add lobster meat and cook 20 minutes, or until
done, on medium-low heat.
- Blend in sherry, cream and tomato paste.
Absolutely delicious!
Serves 6.
*If using fresh lobster, reduce cooking
time to about 5 minutes or until done.
