Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons butter
- ¼ cup chopped fresh mushrooms
- 2 tablespoons chopped onion
- 2 tablespoons chopped celery
- 2 tablespoons chopped carrot
- 14.5 ounce chicken broth
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- ⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 ½ cups half-and-half
- ½ cup dry white wine
- ½ pound cooked lump lobster meat
Instructions
- Saute Veggies: In a sizable saucepan over medium heat, melt 3 tablespoons of butter. Add ¼ cup of chopped mushrooms, 2 tablespoons each of chopped onions, celery, and carrots, cooking until they're soft.
- Simmer with Seasonings: Introduce a 14.5-ounce can of chicken broth to the pan, seasoning with ⅛ teaspoon of salt and ⅛ teaspoon of cayenne pepper. Allow the mixture to simmer, integrating the flavors.
- Blend Lobster into the Mix: Incorporate ¼ cup of the cooked lump lobster meat into the simmering broth. Blend until the concoction is completely smooth, using an immersion blender or transferring carefully to a regular blender.
- Creamy Lobster Addition: Transfer the smooth blend back into the saucepan. Mix in 1 ½ cups of half-and-half, ½ cup of dry white wine, and the rest of the lobster meat. Heat the mixture on low, stirring often, until it achieves a thicker consistency.
- Ready to Serve: Once thickened to your preference, serve the bisque hot. Enjoy this luxurious soup with slices of buttered bread for dipping.
