Ingredients

  • 6 tablespoons butter

  • 6 tablespoons all-purpose flour

  • ½ teaspoon sea salt

  • ½ teaspoon celery salt

  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

  • 4 cups half-and-half

  • 1 ½ cups lobster stock

  • 3 cups cooked lobster meat, shredded

  • 3 tablespoons tomato paste

  • 3 tablespoons minced onion

  • 3 tablespoons minced celery

  • 1 teaspoon paprika

  • ½ teaspoon dried thyme

  • ½ teaspoon seafood seasoning (such as Old Bay)

  • 1 cup cream

Directions

  1. Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat. Stir flour, sea salt, celery salt, and black pepper into the butter. Gradually stir half-and-half into the mixture, taking care that no lumps form. Add lobster stock; stir. Reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring constantly, until the soup begins to thicken, about 15 minutes.

  2. Stir lobster, tomato paste, onion, and celery into the soup; season with paprika, thyme, and seafood seasoning. Continue cooking the soup to heat the onion and celery, about 10 minutes. Add cream; stir. Cook until hot, about 5 minutes.
