This recipe is a delicious Icelandic specialty. It is served by families during the winter holidays and is a restaurant specialty in coastal towns around the island. After a vacation to Iceland, I searched fervently for the recipe, and through research with trial and error, came up with this very authentic version. The soup is best enjoyed with slices of baguette.

LOBSTER SOUP



Lobster Soup image

This is one of our favorite recipes from MY favorite cookbook (Italian Immigrant Cooking by Elodia Rigante)

Provided by deb k

Categories     Lobster

Time 1h

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

6 cups chicken broth
2 cups water
2 lbs lobster meat
5 tablespoons olive oil
3 stalks celery, diced
1 large onion, diced
1 tablespoon minced garlic
4 cups chopped tomatoes, w/ their juice
1 cup dry white wine
1 tablespoon basil
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup flour
3 cups milk (half & half for a creamier soup)
salt & pepper

Steps:

  • In a large pot, bring the chicken broth and water to a boil.
  • Chop up the lobster meat into small pieces and add it to the boiling liquid.
  • Cover, turn down the heat and let simmer.
  • In a skillet, heat a tbl of the olive oil and add celery, onion and garlic.
  • Saute over medium heat, taking care not to brown.
  • Add the tomatoes, wine and basil and saute for another 5-10 min.
  • Add this to the lobster mixture and continue to simmer the soup for 30 minutes covered, over very low heat.
  • In a medium saucepan, melt the butter and mix in the remaining olive oil, then the flour.
  • Whisk in the milk gradually, stirring continuously.
  • When it begins to thicken (just when it begins, not when it gets real thick) stir this mixture gradually into the simmering soup.
  • Be sure the soup does not boil after this point but is stirred and simmered over very low heat.
  • Remove half of the soup and blend it in a high-speed blender until smooth.
  • Half of the soup should retain flakes of the tender lobster meat and chopped vegetables.
  • Mix in the blended soup with the lobster mixture.
  • Season with salt& pepper.
  • Serve this soup with fresh Italian bread.

Tips:

  • Use fresh lobster if possible. Fresh lobster will give your soup the best flavor. If you can't find fresh lobster, you can use frozen lobster, but make sure to thaw it completely before using it.
  • Don't overcook the lobster. Lobster is a delicate seafood, so it's important not to overcook it. Otherwise, it will become tough and chewy. Cook the lobster just until it is opaque and cooked through.
  • Use a good quality lobster stock. The lobster stock is the base of the soup, so it's important to use a good quality stock. You can make your own lobster stock, or you can use a store-bought lobster stock.
  • Add vegetables to the soup to add flavor and texture. Vegetables such as carrots, celery, and onions are all good additions to lobster soup. You can also add other vegetables, such as potatoes or corn, if you like.
  • Season the soup to taste. Season the soup with salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a dollop of sour cream to brighten up the flavors.

Conclusion:

Lobster soup is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. It's easy to make, and it's sure to impress your guests. So next time you're looking for a special soup to serve, give lobster soup a try. You won't be disappointed.
