Recipe of Creamy Lobster Bisque

Ingredients: 2 lobsters (about 1 ½ lbs each) 4 tbsps unsalted butter 1 medium onion, finely chopped 2 carrots, finely chopped 2 celery stalks, finely chopped 4 garlic cloves, minced ¼ cup tomato paste ¼ cup all-purpose flour 1 cup dry white wine 4 cups seafood or vegetable broth 2 cups heavy cream 1 bay leaf ½ tsp paprika powder salt and pepper, to taste fresh chives, for garnish Instructions: Fill your SENSARTE Nonstick Stock Pot with water and bring it to a boil. Add the lobsters and cook for about 8-10 minutes until they turn bright red. Remove the lobsters from the pot and let them cool. Once cooled, remove the meat from the shells and chop into bite-sized pieces. Set aside. In another large SENSARTE Nonstick Sauce Pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, carrots, celery, and garlic. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the vegetables soften. Stir in the tomato paste and flour, and cook for an additional 2 minutes to cook off the raw flour taste. Deglaze the pan by adding the white wine and scraping the bottom to release any browned bits. Cook until the wine has reduced by half. Add the seafood or vegetable broth, heavy cream, bay leaf, and paprika to the pan. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Using an immersion blender or transferring the mixture to a blender, puree the soup until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Return the soup to the SENSARTE Nonstick Sauce Pan and add the chopped lobster meat. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. Serve the lobster bisque hot, garnished with fresh chives. Pair it with crusty bread or oyster crackers for a delicious meal. Enjoy!
