Lobster Bisque | Easy Creamy Seafood Bisque

Category: Soups

6 tablespoons of butter
1/2 cup of flour
2 teaspoons of old bay seasoning
2 cups of Seafood Stock (homemade, see below)
6 cups of milk
2 tablespoons of tomato paste
sea salt and pepper
1 pound of lobster, crab or shrimp (or combination), torn or cut into 1/2 inch pieces
1/2 cup of heavy cream
chives


In a saucepan, melt butter on medium heat. Whisk in flour and old bay, continue stirring for 1 minute. Add seafood stock and continue to whisk over medium heat until smooth. Add milk and tomato paste. Cook on medium for 10 minutes, until the soup begins to thicken, stirring periodically to make sure the soup doesn't burn! Lower the heat. Continue to cook until the desired thickness is achieved. Season with salt and pepper as needed. Add lobster, crab or shrimp and heavy cream. Garnish with a dash of old bay, chives, and a drizzle of heavy cream.
