Lobster Bisque
Makes approx. 6 servings

Ingredients:

* 2 tablespoons Butter
* 1 cup Onion, minced
* 1 cup Carrots, minced
* 4 cups Lobster Stock*
* 4 tablespoons Flour
* 4 tablespoons Butter
* 1 cup Heavy Cream
* 1/4 cup Dry Sherry
* 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
* 1 tsp. Worcestershire Sauce
* 1/2 tsp. Cayenne Pepper (or to taste)
* Salt, to taste
* 1/2 lb. Raw Lobster Meat, chopped
* Fresh Chives, minced

Preparation:

Place the 2 tablespoons butter, onion and carrot in a sauté pan on medium high heat and sauté until soft. Reserve.

In a soup or stock pot on medium high heat, add the 4 tablespoons butter and begin to melt. Add the flour and whisk to form a roux. Turn heat down to medium and continue to whisk until roux becomes light brown (about 3 to 5 minutes).

Slowly add the hot lobster stock to the roux mixture, whisking constantly to insure that the mixture remains smooth. Add the sautéed vegetable mixture and allow mixture to simmer covered for about 1/2 hour.

Add the cream, sherry, lemon juice, Worcestershire Sauce, cayenne pepper, salt and lobster meat and simmer an additional 5 to 10 minutes. Garnish with fresh minced chives if desired.
