Tips and Tricks:
1. We like to leave the Lobster Bisque as is. We love a “chunkier” soup with a bit of bite to it. 2. If preferred, you can also remove the lobster, blend half the soup and mix everything together again. 3. You can also remove the lobster, blend everything smooth and then add the Lobster back in.Nutrition

Is it a 1 for 1 cream to coconut conversion? Do you recommend it for someone on the fence between diary or coconut? I’m making this for Xmas eve this year. It looks amazing. Thank you!
Susan says
We made this on Christmas day and used lobster base bullion instead of vegetable stock. We also blended some lobster in with the veggies. Used 2 lobsters total. It was wonderful.
Lisa says
This was my first time making lobster bisque and it was so yummy and easy! Used lobster and crab. Will definitely make again!
Christina says
Can you make this without the white wine?
Roche Woodworth says
Hi Christina! I think is should be fine without the white wine. It adds subtle flavor, but nothing drastic.
Yvonne says
So simple and delicious!
Jerrica says
This looks amazing!!!! The carbs in this dish is that for all 4 servings or for each serving?
Dennis says
Correction, not fish broth, I meant the vegetable broth.
Dennis says
When do you put the lobster in? Do you cook the lobster in the fish broth?
Dayna says
Hello! What is the green garnish in the photo? Parsley? Thanks!
Shay says
Hey Dayna! Yes, it's just a bit of flat leaf parsley 🙂
Melanie says
Hello! I stumbled upon your recipe and would love to try it as I am a huge fan of lobster bisque. I have never wanted to make it because most recipes call for the extra step of using the immersion blender which I don't have. I noticed in your recipe this isn't required but I had a question as to when to add the cream in. If the cream is added and left to boil/simmer, wont it curdle?
Shay says
I added it at the very end and just gave it a minute or so to heat up again! I didn't let it boil 🙂
Keely says
