Ingredients
  

  • 2 whole lobsters about 1.5 lbs or 680g each, cooked and meat removed
  • 6 cups about 1.4 liters fish or seafood broth
  • 1 cup about 240 ml heavy cream
  • Shells from the lobsters
  • 1 teaspoon about 5 ml salt, or to taste

Optional:

  • 1/2 teaspoon about 2.5 ml black pepper, or to taste (for those who include spices in their carnivore diet)

Instructions
 

  • Preparing the Lobsters: Cook the lobsters by boiling or steaming, then remove the meat from the shells. Set the meat aside and reserve the shells for the broth.
  • Making the Broth: In a large pot, add the lobster shells and fish or seafood broth. Bring to a simmer and let cook for 30 minutes to infuse the broth with lobster flavor.
  • Straining the Broth: After simmering, strain the broth to remove and discard the lobster shells, leaving a clear, flavorful broth.
  • Blending the Lobster Meat: Take half of the cooked lobster meat and blend it with a portion of the broth until smooth. This will help thicken the bisque and add texture.
  • Combining: Return the blended lobster mixture to the pot with the remaining broth. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
  • Adding Cream: Stir in the heavy cream, and if using, add salt and black pepper to taste. Warm the bisque through but avoid boiling it after adding the cream to prevent curdling.
  • Finishing Touches: Chop the remaining lobster meat into bite-sized pieces and add them to the bisque just before serving, warming through for a few minutes.
  • Serving: Ladle the creamy lobster bisque into bowls, ensuring there are pieces of lobster meat in each serving.
