Ingredients
-
4 cups seafood stock
-
4 whole lobster tails
-
5 sticks salted butter
-
½ medium white onion, diced
-
2 carrots, diced
-
2 stalks celery, diced
-
3 cloves garlic, minced
-
½ cup cream sherry
-
¾ cup uncooked white rice
-
1 bay leaf
-
4 tablespoons tomato paste
-
1 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon
-
1 teaspoon salt
-
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
-
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
-
1 teaspoon paprika
-
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
-
¾ cup heavy cream
-
salt and ground black pepper to taste
Directions
-
Pour 4 cups seafood stock into a large pot and bring to a rolling boil. Add lobster tails and boil until flesh is opaque, about 5 minutes. Remove tails and reserve all broth. Shell all tail meat and set aside.
-
Melt butter in another pot over medium heat. Add onion, carrots, and celery. Saute until fragrant, 3 to 4 minutes. Add garlic and saute, 30 to 40 seconds. Pour in sherry; let it reduce by half. Pour in reserved seafood stock. Add rice and bay leaf. Bring to a boil, then reduce to medium-low. Let simmer until rice is tender, about 30 minutes. Remove bay leaf.
-
Blend all contents of the soup until smooth using an immersion blender. Add tomato paste, tarragon, salt, thyme, pepper, paprika, and cayenne. Let simmer over medium-low heat for 30 minutes more. Pour in cream and stir in well for that trademark pinkish/orange bisque color. Season with salt and pepper. Ladle soup into bowls and top with a generous lump of lobster meat.
