Rustic Lobster Bisque

I think I’ve decided that Fall is my favorite time of the year. For this South African girl, American Fall temperatures are just about the same as South African winter temperatures (in the area that I’m from at least).

Seeing that winter is my favorite season back home, Fall will be my favorite season over here. And take a wild guess what my favorite food for this time of the year is? It’s an easy one. Yep. Sooouuuup.

Kicking off “Soup Season 2016“ is this hearty Rustic Lobster Bisque.

It is definitely my favorite seafood soup and oh so comforting.

This delicious creamy bisque is perfect for any leftover red lobster you might have and is a quick throw-together recipe that requires no blending. Instead of using that precious extra time to blend, we just call it “rustic”. It’s a pretty good technique and so very gourmet!

It still has that classic lobster bisque taste, so don’t worry about that!

A creamy tomato base filled with lots of little vegetables and yummy lobster chunks. All it needs is a bit of chopping and barely 30 minutes of simmering on the stove. No excuses for skipping out on this one. No sir!

Homemade Rustic Lobster Bisque. You know you want it. Resistance is futile.
