• 4 cups seafood stock – homemade if you’ve got it, but store-bought works in a pinch.
• 1 cup heavy cream – go for organic, it makes a difference.
• 1/4 cup dry sherry – a splash adds depth, don’t skip it.
• 1 tsp paprika – smoked paprika kicks it up a notch.
• Salt and pepper – season like you mean it.

Instructions

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the lobsters and cook for 8 minutes. Remove and let cool.
2. Once cool, remove the meat from the shells. Reserve the meat and crush the shells for stock.
3. In the same pot, melt butter over medium heat. Add onions, celery, and carrots. Cook until soft, about 5 minutes.
4. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
5. Sprinkle gluten-free flour over the veggies, stirring constantly for 2 minutes to cook off the raw taste.
6. Slowly whisk in seafood stock, ensuring no lumps remain. Bring to a simmer.
7. Add crushed lobster shells and simmer for 20 minutes to infuse flavor. Strain and return liquid to the pot.
8. Stir in heavy cream, sherry, and paprika. Simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
9. Add lobster meat and cook for 2 minutes just to heat through. Season with salt and pepper.

Final thoughts: This bisque is luxuriously smooth with a hint of smokiness. Serve it with a drizzle of cream and a sprinkle of fresh chives for that Instagram-worthy finish.

Vegan Lobster Bisque with Mushrooms

Punch up your plant-based game with this creamy, dreamy Vegan Lobster Bisque. Mushrooms steal the show, mimicking that luxurious seafood texture without a hint of ocean.

Ingredients

• 2 cups chopped king oyster mushrooms (their meaty texture is key)
• 1/4 cup vegan butter (I swear by Miyoko’s for that rich depth)
• 1 tbsp tomato paste (the secret umami booster)
• 3 cups vegetable broth (homemade if you’ve got it)
• 1 cup full-fat coconut milk (shake the can well!)
• 1 tsp smoked paprika (for that smoky whisper)
• 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper (just a kick, trust me)
• Salt to taste (start with 1/2 tsp, then adjust)

Instructions

1. Melt vegan butter in a large pot over medium heat. Watch it sizzle but not brown.
2. Add chopped king oyster mushrooms. Sauté for 5 minutes until they start to golden. Tip: Don’t crowd the pan for the best sear.
3. Stir in tomato paste, coating the mushrooms evenly. Cook for 1 minute to caramelize slightly.
4. Pour in vegetable broth, scraping any bits off the bottom. That’s flavor gold.
5. Bring to a simmer, then lower heat. Let it whisper for 15 minutes. Tip: Lid on for maximum flavor infusion.
6. Blend until smooth with an immersion blender. Or carefully in batches in a stand blender. Tip: Hold the lid tight with a towel to avoid steam explosions.
7. Stir in coconut milk, smoked paprika, and cayenne. Heat through but don’t boil. Salt to taste now.

Ladle this velvety bisque into bowls. The texture? Like silk with a smoky, spicy undertone. Serve with crusty bread or a sprinkle of fresh herbs for that Instagram-worthy finish.

Low Carb Lobster Bisque

Kick off your culinary adventure with this creamy, dreamy Low Carb Lobster Bisque that’s as indulgent as it is Instagram-worthy. Perfect for those who love to splurge without the guilt.

Ingredients

• 1.5 lbs fresh lobster meat, chopped (trust me, fresh beats canned every time)
• 4 tbsp unsalted butter (I always go for grass-fed for that rich flavor)
• 1 cup heavy cream (the real deal, no substitutes)
• 2 cups chicken broth (homemade if you’ve got it)
• 1/2 cup diced onions (yellow onions work best here)
• 2 cloves garlic, minced (freshly minced makes all the difference)
• 1 tsp paprika (smoked paprika adds a nice depth)
• Salt to taste (I like to use Himalayan pink salt for its minerals)
• 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (adjust based on how spicy you like it)

Instructions

1. Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat until it’s just bubbling.
2. Add the diced onions and minced garlic, sautéing until they’re translucent and fragrant, about 3 minutes.
3. Stir in the chopped lobster meat, cooking for another 2 minutes until it’s just opaque.
4. Sprinkle in the paprika and cayenne pepper, stirring well to coat the lobster and onions evenly.
5. Pour in the chicken broth, bringing the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to simmer for 10 minutes.
6. Slowly add the heavy cream, stirring continuously to incorporate it smoothly into the bisque.
7. Let the bisque simmer on low heat for another 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together beautifully.
8. Season with salt to taste, remembering that the lobster and broth already bring their own saltiness.

Blend this bisque for a smoother texture or leave it chunky for a more rustic feel. The rich, velvety base with chunks of succulent lobster is a showstopper. Serve it in hollowed-out bread bowls for an edible presentation that’ll wow your guests.
