This incredible lobster bisque recipe made from live fresh lobsters is perfectly rich and creamy, making it a fantastic soup to showcase for friends and family. You will love the amazing flavor of this homemade classic.
Lobster bisque, like any bisque, is a thick, rich, creamy soup consisting of pureed vegetables and seafood or a thickened seafood stock that is then finished with cream. You may also see a garnish of cooked seafood, chives, and crème fraiche. The consistency should be nappe, which can easily coat the back side of the spoon and be completely smooth.
Since lobster bisque is considered an elegant soup, you will commonly see it featured on menus in higher-end restaurants worldwide. Sometimes the bisque may use additional shellfish like shrimp or crab. Lobster bisque is not a cheap soup, so if it’s not in the budget, I recommend making my shrimp bisque recipe.
