Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 white onion, chopped
- ½ cup dry white wine
- ½ cup cooking sherry
- 5 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- ½ (6 ounce) can tomato paste
- 1 ½ cups chicken broth
- 5 cups milk
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper, or to taste
- ⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ½ teaspoon seafood seasoning (such as Old Bay®)
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 green onion, finely chopped
- 1 ½ cups cooked lobster claw, cut into bite-sized pieces
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the chopped onion, and cook until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the white wine and sherry. Cook and stir until the liquid has reduced by half. Sprinkle in the flour while stirring to ensure there are no lumps. Once a thick paste has formed, stir in the tomato paste, then pour in the chicken broth and milk. Season with cayenne pepper, black pepper, seafood seasoning, Worcestershire sauce, and green onion.
- Cook and stir over medium heat until the bisque begins to simmer, about 15 minutes. Stir in the lobster meat, and reheat before serving.

Fantastic taste! I did change 5 cups of milk to 3 cups of milk and 2 cups of heavy whipping cream.
It turned out amazing. I did not have any lobster so I used imitation crab meat and medium, chopped shrimp. Can’t wait to try it with lobster.
Simple and very easy to make. After putting all the ingredients together, after a few simple tweaks, I put everything in the crock pot to cook. Delicious and a now a family favorite!

I make this every Christmas as part of our non traditional Christmas dinner. Compliments the crab stuffed mushrooms also in All Recipes and the Tritip. Delish!!
This was easy and sooooo good! I used 1c of sherry instead of white wine and 2 1/2 c milk and 2 1/2c half and half. Absolutely perfect!!
I made it last night with a few slight changes. After adding the broth and milk it was pretty clumpy. I don’t like biting into onion anyways so I ran it all through a blender. It made it really smooth and creamy. The lobster was super expensive so rather than spending a fortune on 1 1/2lbs lobster, I bought a 1/2lb lobster tail and subbed the rest with a small package of artificial crab meat, a cup of scallops and a cup of cocktail shrimp (shrimp and scallops cut into bite sized pcs). After allowing the last 3 ingredients to simmer while the lobster tail cooked I tried the broth and it was good but was missing something. I ended up adding 3/4 stick of butter and it made all the difference in flavor. It was runnier than I would have liked so I slowly added cornstarch until it thickened to my liking. After adding the lobster, the soup ended up sitting on simmer for about an hour and a half before we were ready to eat but it turned out quite well! There is a very slight bite to it probably bc of the cayenne so if you don’t like spicy I’d cut the cayenne back a little. I don’t really like spicy but it wasn’t too much for me.
Definitely needs heavy cream instead of milk. Or a combination. It didn’t really have the taste of bisque as it was bland and too much tomato paste. Very disappointed in this recipe.
Darn good! I didn’t change much and it was delicious!
Hey Folks, this is THE one! I use a blend of milk & cream for the consistency we like. Almost any seafood works. Make a day ahead, sans seafood, then add seafood & gently reheat next day before serving. This blend of sherry & white wine is so yummy!!. Annie: THANK YOU!!
Very good. Made as written, no substitutes and it was perfect. Definitely will make again.
Used 5 tbs butter instead of olive oil. Used lump crab meat, claw crab meat, and lobster pieces. Doubled the Cayenne Pepper. Used 1/2 and 1/2 instead of milk. Might want to consider adding additional flour if you want it thicker, but using the suggested amounts seemed to be fairly thick. Had a great taste and a bit of a zing. Served in bread bowls, which was great (very filling!) and also toasted the inside pieces from the bread bowl and used as a “cracker substitute”. Thoroughly enjoyed! Don’t be afraid to add your own touch to the recipe!
This soup is every bit as good as the indulgent version you will find at a restaurant. I’ll cut back on the cayenne next time, but other than that, it is perfect.
Very good. Will use less tomato paste next time. I used 4 cups of half and half instead of milk and lobster tails instead of claws. Added instant potato buds to thicken it up as we prefer a thicker chowder.
Was so-so. I won’t be making this again.
This has become one of my regular dishes. Easy and delish. Works beautifully with canned crab as well.
This is just awful. It tasted like an onion/tomato broth. Not at all like a restaurant style bisque. Wasted a lot of money.
Delicious!! My first try at making lobster bisque and it came out great – easy to make, too. I used 3 lobster tails – sauteed them in the onions until onions were translucent, removed tails and set aside. Then I added the tails back in once the milk, broth, and seasonings were added and let them simmer in the bisque for ~10 minutes (used meat thermometer to test – 145 degrees was perfect – thoroughly cooked but very tender). I removed the tails and let the bisque continue to simmer for 5 mores minutes while I removed the shells and cut the lobster into bite-sized chunks. I omitted the cayenne pepper because I do not like spice but think I may add a tiny pinch next time. Will also try shallots instead of white onions next time, too (just because I love shallots). Great recipe as is! Thanks!!
I absolutly loved this recipe! I did make some adjustments because of what I had in my kitchen but it turned out beautifully. I had quests over and one of them literally had four bowls of this. Plus I got a call the next day from two of the other guests to get the recipe. My adjustments were: I used 4 cups of whipping cream and the rest regular milk. I added garlic to the onions when sauteing and I used a whole can of tomato paste instead of half. I also added some crab meat to bulk up the seafood factor. I will definitly be making this again in the future!
Made this on Christmas day durning all the hubub I put in the whole can of tomatoe paste. It didnt matter it came out great!I also used 2 cups half and half ,3 milk….next time I might add more 1/2 & 1/2 or even some cream.You might as well go whole hog its…. Lobster!
Absolutely YUMMY!
