Lobster Bisque
RECIPE BY: HeidiSue
I can't remember where the original recipe came from, but I have worked on this for some time and it is so good. Simple, quick and yummy. You can substitute crawfish or shrimp for the lobster.

This recipe was excellent! I had to try it since everyone had such great reviews. I added in some extra lobster base, kosher salt, fresh ground pepper, and a tad of Old Bay Seasoning. Having the crusty bread with whipped butter is a MUST!! Great for dunking! I will try it next with Half & Half. Thanks for the wonderful recipe Heidi

Oh my, this is wonderful. My standard for lobster bisque is Cafe L'Europe restaurant on St. Armand's Circle, Sarasota, Florida. While different, this certainly equals the unctuousness and pure wonderful flavor of that one. Plus, this one has more lobster meat in it! Superb. Admittedly I added an extra cup of half and half cream. Not to stretch it but to make it the "right" color (only to my mind).

Wonderful!! I couldn't find lobster base (or any seafood base) so I used a can of chicken broth. Also used canned crabmeat and imitation lobster but it still turned out fantastic. It's the wine, sherry, and tomato paste that really make this.
