Ingredients

Lobster tails

2 (about 1 lb total)

Unsalted butter

2 tablespoons

Onion

1, diced

Garlic

2 cloves, minced

Carrot

1, diced

Celery

1 stalk, diced

All-purpose flour

2 tablespoons

Chicken broth

4 cups

Heavy cream

1 cup

Fresh parsley

2 tablespoons, chopped

Salt

to taste

Black pepper

to taste

Instructions

1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the lobster tails and cook for 5-7 minutes, until the shells turn bright red. Remove the lobster tails from the water and let them cool. Once cooled, remove the meat from the shells and chop into bite-sized pieces.
2. In a large soup pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion, minced garlic, diced carrot, and diced celery. Cook until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.
3. Sprinkle the flour over the cooked vegetables and stir to coat evenly. Cook for 1-2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste.
4. Slowly pour in the chicken broth, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes, allowing it to thicken slightly.
5. Add the chopped lobster meat to the pot and cook for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
6. Stir in the heavy cream and chopped parsley. Season generously with salt and pepper to taste.
7. Simmer the soup for another 5 minutes, until heated through and creamy.
8. Serve hot, garnished with additional parsley if desired, and enjoy the luxurious flavors.
