6 tablespoons dry sherry
1 teaspoon paprika
1 cup hot water
1 teaspoon lobster base (better than boulion)
4 ounces tomato paste
2 bay leaves
2 cups heavy whipping cream
4 tablespoons butter

This was INSANELY DELICIOUS!!!!!! I increased the garlic and subbed 1/2 and 1/2 for the heavy cream (always calorie/fat conscious!) and who the heck needed the extra fat? Not us! We ADORED this!!! This was hands down the best soup/bisque I've had in my whole life. The flavor mingling was insane and the final dish...to die for. My go to from here on. WONDERFUL!

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.
