The Best Easy Lobster Bisque Recipe - delicious hearty and creamy lobster bisque that is naturally keto/low carb and so delicious!

Creamy, hearty, and delicious lobster bisque is a rich and indulgent dinner steakhouse quality appetizer or dinner that is deceptively easy, and bursting with flavor.

This lobster bisque is one of my favorite meals to make - and this version is naturally low carb and keto compliant - even though it is not a specifically keto designed dish - meaning everyone will love this soup, and you don't need to get any weird extra ingredients or thickeners for those following a low carb diet!

I created this recipe to be based off my wildly popular Easy Broiled Lobster Tails recipe - one of the best reviewed lobster tail dinners on the internet that has been tried hundreds of times (one reader said it was so delicious, her boyfriend even proposed when she made it for Valentines Day!).

This keto carb lobster chowder is designed to be easy - and all cooks in one large stock pot - but I have a few tips to make this bisque the best, every time!

For the best flavor for your lobster, I reccomend cooking it right in the chowder - i just dump raw lobster meat in to cook, giving the broth even more lobster flavor - but you can also use my broiled lobster tails recipe, or precooked lobster meat (find it in your grocery store's frozen seafood section - it will already be picked clean and have all shells removed.)

For more lobster flavor, you can boil the lobster shells (if using raw lobster tails) in the lobster stock + 1 cup of water ahead of cooking. Let reduce slightly and discard lobster shells, then set aside to use in soup.

For frozen lobster tails, let thaw fully in the refrigerator before cooking.

I place lobster tails on a plate with a few paper towels underneath and on top to help absorb the liquid the lobster releases as it thaws.

This will cut down on fishy smells in the fridge - and as you cook your lobster.

This lobster bisque is easy because you can use fresh, frozen, or pre-cooked lobster meat.

For the most flavor when using pre-cooked lobster meat, I bring one extra cup of lobster stock to boil on the stove (next to the lobster bisque pot), and let it reduce slightly.

Then add lobster meat to extra stock and boil about 2 minutes.

Add reduced stock and lobster into soup just before thickening with tomato paste.

-Large stock pot
-Spoon
-Kitchen shears (to cut lobster tails)
-Immersion blender
-4 lobster tails or 1 lb pre-cooked lobster meat
-2 tablespoons olive oil extra virgin
-½ cup onion, chopped
-1 ½ teaspoons garlic, minced finely
-1 cup dry vermouth
-2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
-1 teaspoon old bay seasoning
-1 teaspoon dried thyme
-½ teaspoon paprika
-½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
-¼ teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
-1 tablespoon tomato paste
-2 cups lobster stock
-2 cups heavy cream
-4 tablespoons butter

This soup is hearty, rich, and so delicious - if you want too whip up a big batch, you can store it for later, or have leftovers during the week.

Follow these tips to store leftovers and reheat well.

Store any uneaten lobster bisque in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to four days.

Do not save lobster soup that has been reheated once (don't keep leftovers from your leftovers - reheat only as much as you will eat in one sitting, or it will get very salty and possibly fishy.)

To freeze leftover lobster bisque (or to make in big batches and freeze immediately for meal prep), add to a freezer bag and squeeze out any extra air.

Freeze for up to four months.

For best results, add only the amount you think you will be reheating at a time to a bag.

Smaller bags of soup freeze and thaw more quickly and evenly, reducing the chance of freezer burn or texture changes.

For best results: let soup thaw fully in refrigerator before reheating.

To reheat leftover lobster bisque, place in pot on stove and bring to boil, then serve. Add up to ½ cup stock or ¼ cream if needed for texture.

To reheat from frozen, I prefer fully defrosting first - but you can add frozen soup to a pot with 1 cup water or stock, cover, and cook on medium until thawed. Then bring to a quick boil and serve.

This lobster soup is thick and creamy just from the heavy cream we're using so it's a bit easier and quicker for a one pot appetizer - but if you're serving this bisque as a meal, you might want a little bit more bite to it!

I'm including two ways to add more to your lobster bisque - using either cauliflower or potatoes (depending on how many carbs you're ok with adding) to make this soup more of a meal!

To thicken your soup with cauliflower, add up to one cup boiled cauliflower florets (you can boil them in lobster stock for even more flavor) to bisque before blending.

To thicken your bisque with potatoes, add up to one cup boiled potatoes (you can boil them in lobster stock for even more flavor) to bisque before blending.

I love lobster - it's no secret!

It is one of my favorite things to make because it is totally indulgent - but also easy to prepare!
