Recipe: Keto Lobster Bisque

Ingredients:

  • 2 whole lobsters (about 1.5-2 pounds each)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup celery, chopped
  • 1/2 cup carrot, chopped
  • 1/2 cup cauliflower florets
  • 2 cups seafood or vegetable broth
  • 1 cup full-fat coconut milk
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Fresh chives or parsley, for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Begin by cooking the lobsters. You can either boil them or steam them until they turn bright red and the meat is cooked through. This usually takes about 10-12 minutes. Once cooked, let the lobsters cool, then crack the shells and remove the meat. Chop the lobster meat into bite-sized pieces. Reserve some for garnish, if desired.
  2. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, garlic, celery, and carrot. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.
  3. Add the cauliflower florets to the pot and continue to cook for another 5 minutes.
  4. Pour in the seafood or vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a simmer. Allow it to simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
  5. Use an immersion blender or a regular blender to puree the soup until it’s smooth and creamy.
  6. Return the soup to the pot over low heat. Stir in the coconut milk, tomato paste, paprika, and cayenne pepper. Mix well to combine.
  7. Gently fold in the chopped lobster meat and let the soup simmer for an additional 5-7 minutes until the lobster is heated through. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
  8. Serve the Keto Lobster Bisque hot, garnished with fresh chives or parsley if desired.
