Lobster Bisque Recipe

Recipe By The Spruce Eats

Lobster bisque is an elegant but easy dish that is special enough for dinner guests as an appetizer, a romantic dinner on a night like new year's eve if you're staying in or as an easy supper in the wintertime, served in front of a roaring fire with lots of bread and wine. A bisque has its origins in french cuisine, and it is typically a creamy base that is well-seasoned and includes lobster, as here, or shrimp, crab or crawfish. You could substitute any of the other three types of seafood for the lobster in this recipe. Serve lobster bisque as a starter at a dinner party with a seafood entree, fresh seasonal vegetables, and a potato side dish. For a great supper on a cold night; serve with warmed french or sourdough bread and slices of extra sharp cheddar, gouda, gruyere, havarti or muenster cheese. Serve a dry white wine like sauvignon blanc, pinot grigio or albarino with either menu.
