The ULTIMATE Lobster Bisque
This Ultimate Lobster Bisque is going to knock your socks off! This is the best keto soup I have ever had! My recipe testers agree! They told me they can’t get enough of this soup!
Many of you know that I LOVE sauces! I always love to find the perfect combination of proteins with the most complimentary sauce. This lobster bisque is my way of pairing a sauce with my lobster!
I made this lobster bisque 2 ways so you can make it the way you prefer.
If you are like me and want a sauce with your lobster tail, opt for option one where you poach a whole lobster in the bisque at the end. This option will need a knife when serving it, I cut up my lobster and eat a large piece with the delicious bisque.
If you prefer a more traditional lobster bisque, instead of whole lobster tails, use lobster pieces to poach in the bisque at the end. Either way, it is delicious! However, the presentation with a large lobster tail in the bowl is pretty spectacular!
I also love that Butcherbox now offers whole lobster tails and they also offer lobster pieces!

We aren’t going out to eat with Covid-19 so I don’t mind spending money on delicious food I can enjoy at home! Also, this homemade Keto Lobster Bisque is way better than any restaurant lobster bisque anyway!

The ULTIMATE Lobster Bisque
Ingredients
- 4 lobster tails I used Butcherbox lobster tails, or 1 pound lobster pieces
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1 leek halved lengthwise
- 1/2 onion halved
- 1 stalk celery in big chunks
- 3 sprigs fresh thyme
- 2 strips orange zest or a drop of orange oil
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 8 ounces cream cheese or Kite Hill brand if dairy free
- 3 cups chicken broth I used Kettle and Fire brand
- Redmond Real Salt use code Maria15 for 15% off
Instructions
- If using whole lobsters, remove the lobster meat from the shell and set the lobster meat into the fridge. Set the shells aside to add to the soup later.
- Heat butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the leeks, onion, and cook for 4 minutes or until softened.
- Add the celery, thyme, orange zest and the tomato paste. Cook about 5 minutes while stirring occasionally.
- Add the broth, lobster shells and salt and bring to a boil. Lower the heat to a gently simmer until the soup is reduced a little, about 30 minutes.
- Remove the lobster shells and sprigs of thyme and discard. Add the cream cheese to the pot. Use a stick blender to combine the soup until smooth.
- Add the lobster meat (either whole lobster or lobster pieces) into the soup and cook over medium heat for 10 minutes for whole lobsters (or 5 minutes for lobster pieces) or until the lobster is cooked through.
- To serve, ladle the bisque into warmed soup bowls with a lobster tail in each bowl.

TESTIMONY OF THE DAY
“Hi, Maria!
On a whim, I weighed myself last weekend, and once again, I’m failing at maintenance…I’ve lost another ten pounds in the last 11 months! I threw my scale out three years ago, and my journey to health has been so much easier since I stopped letting that daily number rule my life (and my sense of success or failure).
In 2000, I was diagnosed with three autoimmune diseases and was put into a never-ending cycle of specialists, prescriptions, more prescriptions, constant pain, and the inability to function normally.
At my worst, I couldn’t get out of a chair without help, couldn’t get anything but flip flops onto my swollen feet, and ballooned up to 268 lbs. When I found you, I was taking 26 pills a day. Today, I take no medication, I have no symptoms, I live a full and healthy life, and I weigh 139 lbs – I have lost half my body weight!! With your guidance and encouragement, I’ve not only changed the way I eat, but I’ve also changed the way I live – I left a high-stress job, have learned how to manage life/work balance, get at least 8 hours of sleep a night, maintain a healthy immune system, and take time to do the things that make me happy. I can honestly say that I am physically, mentally, and spiritually in the best place I’ve ever been.
There will never be enough words to say thank you – I believe your guidance literally saved my life. You have an incredible gift, and I will be forever grateful that our paths crossed!“ C

Thank you for another delicious recipe! Re the Redmond Salt, I just checked out their website, after having read an article on bone health saying that salt intake decreases your calcium absorption. So many people believe salt is bad–or maybe the cheaper/low quality salts do actually cause this to happen?
Lobster is really expensive in NM. Would this work with canned crab?
That should work. 🙂
I am going back on Keto and love Lobster Bisque, so Thanks for this.
Thanks! I hope you enjoy it! 🙂
I cooked this for my family the other day. I have never made a soup before. This was so delicious. I love your keto meals. I cannot wait to make more.
Thank you!!
Hi Maria… trying this tonight, but guessing on the amount of salt to use. Is there a recommended amount? Thanks.
I would do 1/2-1 teaspoons to taste. 🙂
That was the Ultimate Lobster Bisque, all right! Yum!
Thank you!!
I just made the lobster bisque. I have never made this before. It is really good.
Thank you!
