Notes

  • Fresh lobster provides the best flavor, but frozen lobster meat can also work well.
  • For a smoother bisque, strain the soup after blending.
  • Adjust the Cajun seasoning depending on your preferred spice level.
  • If the soup becomes too thick, add a small amount of seafood stock to loosen it.
  • The bisque can be prepared ahead of time and reheated gently before serving.
