A rich and creamy bisque made with tender langostino lobster tails, enhanced with aromatic vegetables, brandy, and cream for a luxurious seafood soup.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb cooked langostino tails
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 celery stalk, chopped
  • 1 carrot, chopped
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1/4 cup brandy or cognac
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine
  • 4 cups seafood or chicken stock
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 tsp fresh thyme (or 1/2 tsp dried)
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Chopped chives or parsley, for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a large pot, heat butter and olive oil over medium heat. Add onion, garlic, celery, and carrot. Cook until vegetables are soft, about 6–8 minutes.
  2. Stir in tomato paste and cook for 2 minutes to deepen flavor.
  3. Deglaze with brandy and cook for 1 minute, then add white wine and simmer until reduced by half.
  4. Add stock, bay leaf, thyme, and paprika. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes.
  5. Remove bay leaf. Use an immersion blender (or regular blender in batches) to puree the soup until smooth.
  6. Return to heat, stir in cream and langostino tails. Simmer for 5–7 minutes until heated through. Do not boil.
  7. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Ladle into bowls and garnish with chopped chives or parsley.

Notes

  • Langostino can be substituted with lobster, shrimp, or crab.
  • Use seafood stock for the most flavor-rich bisque.
  • Make ahead and gently reheat before serving to develop flavor.
  • Serve with crusty bread or puff pastry for an elegant presentation.
