Ingredients
- 2 cups lobster meat, chopped
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 2 cups of chopped lobster meat, 1 cup of heavy cream, 1 cup of chicken broth, 1 diced onion, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1/4 cup of butter, salt and pepper to taste, and 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh parsley.
- In a large pot or Dutch oven, melt the 1/4 cup of butter over medium heat. Allow it to melt completely, but do not let it brown.
- Add the diced onion to the pot and sauté for about 5 minutes, or until the onion is translucent and fragrant.
- Stir in the minced garlic and continue to cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, ensuring the garlic does not burn.
- Pour in the 1 cup of chicken broth, stirring to combine with the sautéed onions and garlic. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
- Once the broth is simmering, add the chopped lobster meat to the pot. Allow it to cook for about 5-7 minutes, letting the flavors meld together.
- After the lobster has cooked through, reduce the heat to low and slowly stir in the 1 cup of heavy cream. Mix well until the cream is fully incorporated.
- Season the soup with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting to your preference. If you like a little more depth of flavor, you can add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a splash of lemon juice.
- Let the soup simmer on low heat for an additional 5-10 minutes, allowing it to thicken slightly and the flavors to develop further.
- Before serving, stir in the 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh parsley for a burst of color and freshness.
- Serve the creamy lobster soup hot, garnished with additional parsley if desired. Enjoy your delicious WDW Creamy Lobster Soup!
Tips
- Use fresh lobster meat for the most authentic flavor. If fresh isn't available, high-quality frozen lobster meat works well.
- Don't rush the sautéing process—allowing onions and garlic to develop their flavors slowly creates a deeper taste profile.
- Keep the heat low when adding cream to prevent curdling. Stir continuously and gently.
- For extra richness, consider using half-and-half instead of heavy cream.
- Fresh parsley is key—it adds a bright, fresh note that cuts through the soup's richness.
- If the soup becomes too thick, thin it with a little extra chicken broth.
- For a gourmet touch, garnish with a small piece of lobster meat or a sprinkle of fresh chives before serving.
