For an even smoother bisque, use an immersion blender to blend a portion of the soup before adding the cream. Be careful not to over-blend, as this can make the lobster tough.
If using frozen lobster meat, thaw it completely and pat it dry before adding it to the bisque.
To elevate the flavor, consider adding a splash of dry sherry or brandy to the bisque during the last few minutes of cooking.
Serve with crusty bread or oyster crackers for dipping.

    This recipe is amazing! So easy to follow and the bisque was incredibly flavorful. Definitely a keeper!

  • Curtis Schaefer

    I added a pinch of cayenne pepper for a little kick, and it was perfect!

  • Abbigail Schaden

    A little too rich for my taste, but my guests loved it! Next time, I might use half-and-half instead of cream.

  • Norma Kozey

    I substituted the chicken stock with fish stock and it was divine!
