Ingredients
Scale
- 8 tablespoons butter, separated
- 1 cup chopped yellow onion
- 1/2 cup chopped celery
- 1/2 cup chopped carrots
- 1/4 cup tomato concentrate
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried savory
- 1 teaspoon dried tarragon
- 1 cup cream sherry
- 3/4 lb langostino lobster tails, cooked, peeled, and thawed
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- Grated parmesan cheese
Instructions
- In a large pot over medium heat, melt 4 tablespoons of butter. Add 1 cup of diced yellow onion, ½ cup of diced celery, and ½ cup of diced carrots to the pot. Sauté the vegetables for 8-10 minutes or until they become soft and tender. Remove half of the sautéed vegetables from the pot and set them aside for later use.
- With the remaining vegetables in the pot, add ¼ cup of tomato paste and roast it for 1 minute, stirring frequently. Pour in 4 cups of chicken stock and add ½ teaspoon of garlic powder, ½ teaspoon of dried savory, 1 teaspoon of dried tarragon, and 1 cup of cream sherry. Stir well and bring the mixture to a boil.
- Add ¼ pound of cooked and peeled langostino lobster tails to the pot. Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until it becomes smooth.
- Stir in 2 cups of heavy whipping cream and return the soup to a gentle boil. In a separate nonstick pan, melt the remaining 4 tablespoons of butter over medium heat to begin creating a roux.
- Add 4 tablespoons of flour to the melted butter in the nonstick pan. Stir the mixture continuously until it is well incorporated and the flour begins to brown slightly.
Notes
- For a thicker bisque, allow the roux to cook longer until it reaches a deeper color.
- Garnish with grated parmesan cheese before serving for added flavor.
- Serve with crusty bread for a complete meal.
