Lobster bisque recipe is one of my favorite dishes, as it’s hard to beat this thick, creamy and highly-seasoned soup.
Bisque is a method of extracting every bit of flavor from imperfect crustaceans not good enough to send to market, or in this case, leftovers that cannot be used for anything else.
This lobster bisque recipe is easy to make, and it tastes so good that you must give it a try.
Lobster bisque recipe Ingredients:
-
3 Tablespoons butter
-
3 Tablespoons all-purpose flour
-
1/2 Teaspoon salt
-
1/8 Teaspoon ground black pepper
-
1/4 Teaspoon celery salt
-
2 1/4 Cups milk
-
3/4 Cups chicken stock
-
1 1/2 Tablespoons minced onion
-
1 1/2 Cups of cooked, shredded lobster meat
-
1/2 Tablespoon paprika
Lobster bisque recipe Preparations:
-
Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat
-
Stir in the flour, salt, pepper and celery salt until well blended
-
Gradually stir in the milk so that no lumps form, and then stir in the chicken stock
-
Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the soup begins to thicken
-
Add the onion and lobster; season with paprika
-
Cook and stir for 10 more minutes
-
Stir in the cream, heat through and serve
This lobster bisque recipe doesn’t take much time, and yet it delivers great lobster bisque!

This How to make fondant post is dedicated to Sarah.
Sarah read my post “how to make fondant” and followed my fondant recipe.
Here’s what she wrote me:
”
Greetings Cookduke,
After searching the internet for bridal shower cake ideas and deciding that I wanted to make a bow on top of my cake, I searched the web for a fondant recipe. Fortunately, I came upon your wonderful recipe and read through all the comments that were very encouraging to me. I have never used fondant before but wanted to give it a try because I love how smooth the cake looks (a look I can never achieve with regular icing). I started with 1/2 a batch just to get a feel for the fondant and to experiment with it. The cake turned out great. It isn’t perfect but it still looks good. It is a four layer 10? round cake with a fondant bow on top and gerbera daisy’s all around the sides. It was a wonderful learning experience. Thank you for sharing your fondant recipe. My next challenge will be trying to cut the cake. I am going to email you with a picture of the cake.
Thanks again,
Sarah
”
And then she sent these two beautiful pictures:
