Alice's Lobster, Crab and Corn Bisque
Ingredients
- 1 stick butter
- ¼ c. olive oil
- ½ c. flour
- 1 (16-oz.) container chopped onion mix
- 2 T. minced garlic
- 32 oz. seafood stock or chicken stock/broth
- 2 bay leaves
- Salt, black pepper
- 1 (8-oz.) cream cheese, optional
- 4-6 c. chopped lobster meat (I had 8 boiled whole lobsters, peeled them and chopped the meat)
- 1 lb. lump crabmeat, picked and cleaned
- 2 c. corn macque choux or 2 (11-oz.) cans Mexicorn, drained
- 1 qt. half and half or milk
- Chopped green onions or parsley, garnish
Instructions
- In large pot, melt butter. Add the olive oil and heat.
- Whisk in the flour. You will make a light roux. You do not want a dark roux. This is strictly for thickening the bisque.
- Whisk the whole time until you get a thick light brown roux.
- Add the onions and garlic and cook until tender.
- Slowly pour in the stock, whisking the whole time. Do not let lumps develop.
- Add the cream cheese and stir until melted and blended.
- Add the bay leaves, a little salt and pepper. Let simmer for 30 minutes. Do not let it boil.
- Add the corn, lobster meat and crabmeat. Gently stir in the pot.
- Gradually stir in the half and half. Add as much as you like to get the desired thickness you like for your bisque.
- Taste for seasoning.
- Let it simmer over low heat until hot.
- Serve in bowls and garnish with green onions or parsley.
Notes
*****If you have extra claw meat that is not chopped, you can garnish each bowl with a piece of the claw meat on top.
If I know I am going to freeze the bisque, I like to freeze it before I add the half and half. Then when defrosted, I then add the milk. Yes, you can freeze it with the half and half already added.
