Today I made one of my favorite treats — a classic lobster bisque.
I’ve enjoyed lobster bisques at several restaurants, but I had never tried making one at home until recently. A bag of frozen chopped lobster meat from Trader Joe’s inspired me to give it a go. I’m fairly certain this soup will join “the rotation” of favorites.
This soup was incredible.
It captured everything I love in a lobster bisque: a warmly spiced seafood broth, a smooth, vegetable-and-lobster puree, and the rich cream that ties it all together. Making it at home also allowed me to control the creaminess — you can adjust the heavy cream to taste or substitute half-and-half for a lighter version. Paired with rustic bread, it’s pure comfort food.
I can’t wait to make it again.
