Crock-Pot Lobster Bisque

This mouthwatering recipe for Crock-Pot Lobster Bisque is decadent and creamy yet also easy to prepare. Tender lobster chunks flavors a creamy & rich soup.

Crock-Pot Lobster Bisque

Slow Cooker Lobster Bisque

My husband and I have a running joke that whenever one of us asks “what do you want for dinner?” the other answers “Lobster!” and we laugh it off because we NEVER have lobster. It is usually out of our price range. But this Valentine’s Day I thought “why not” let’s go ahead and splurge a little and so I bought a couple of lobster tails and decided to do a nice Crock-Pot Lobster Bisque recipe.

I have had lobster bisque at our favorite “date night” restaurants and it is SO good. Seriously you just wish they would bring the entire pot out so you can eat it by the gallon. And so that is what I was trying to emulate here with this recipe.

And frankly while this is a soup that is going to impress. It is actually quite easy to make. You start with a base of tomatoes, shallots and other aromatics and let it simmer away. Then puree  then add the lobster tails and let them cook for just a short time, remove the lobster from the crock-pot and add your cream, chop up your lobster meat and add it back in. And that really is it. You can let the soup base simmer away all day while you are at work and then do the finishing up touches before serving.


What Is Old Bay Seasoning?

Old Bay Seasoning

This recipe calls for Old Bay Seasoning. This is a popular spice mix used in seafood dishes and contains various spices and seasonings. You can purchase Old Bay Seasoning in many grocery stores however if you cannot find this key ingredient in your local stores, it is also sold on Amazon.

Ingredients

  • 2 Medium Shallots (Finely Minced)
  • 1 Clove Garlic (Finely Minced)
  • 29 Ounces Canned Petite Diced Tomatoes (Undrained)
  • 32 Ounce Low-Sodium Chicken Broth (Store Bought Or Homemade Chicken Broth)
  • 1 Tablespoon Old Bay Seasoning
  • 1 Teaspoon Dried Dill
  • ¼ Cup Chopped Fresh Parsley
  • 1 Teaspoon Freshly Ground Black Pepper
  • ½ Teaspoon Ground Paprika
  • 4 Medium Lobster Tails
  • 1 Pint Heavy Whipping Cream

Instructions

  • Put minced shallots and garlic in a microwave safe bowl and microwave on high for 2-3 minutes or until the shallots are wilted and starting to turn translucent. (You can also cook them in a small skillet if you don’t have a microwave)
  • Add shallot and garlic mixture to a 4-quart or larger slow cooker.
  • Continue adding tomatoes, chicken broth, old bay seasoning, dill, parsley, pepper & paprika to the slow cooker.
  • With a sharp knife cut off the fan part of the very end of the lobsters and add those to the slow cooker.
  • Stir, cover and cook on LOW for 6 hours or on HIGH for 3 hours.
  • Remove the lobster tail ends and discard.
  • Using a blender or immersion blender puree the soup mixture to your desired chunkiness. (I pureed half until smooth and the other half just a light puree.)
  • Add the soup back into the crock-pot if you used a regular blender.
  • Add your lobster tails to the soup, cover and cook 45 minutes on LOW or until the shells turn red and the lobster meat is cooked.
  • Remove lobster tails from the soup and let cool slightly.
  • While the lobster is cooling add the cream and stir.
  • With a sharp knife cut each lobster tail in half long-ways and remove the lobster flesh from the shells.
  • Discard shells and roughly chop lobster meat and add back into the soup.
  • Serve and enjoy!

Notes

You may substitute half of a mild onion for the shallots if you cannot find shallots. You may also use less cream or substitute half and half for the cream for less fat.

    Sounds wonderful. But, I do have a question or two … how large are the lobster tails? One of my local stores carries frozen lobster mean (no shells) … would that work in this … since I won’t have the lobster tail to simmer for hours?

    Reply
    • Lady Heidi says

      February 28, 2013 at 9:37 PM

      Hi Joan, My apologies for not replying to your questions sooner. I was out of town. My lobster tails were not very big. Maybe about 6 oz. each. And I think you could make this OK with the lobster out of the shell. Simmering the tip of the tails just adds a bit of seafood/lobster taste to your soup. But I am confident that it would be delicious if you skipped that step.

    So I had the day off and wanted to make it special. I found this recipe and decided this was the dish that really be a treat. I followed the directions and it turned out spectacular! The bisque was creamy, and full of flavor, and the chunks of lobster meat were divine. I opted to serve buttered rosemary bread with it , which worked well. I plan to make this a few times a year on special occasions. Thank you!

      Hi Carol, thanks for the great question. I have updated the recipe to be a little more clear. It is 45 minutes on low once you add your lobster meat.

    Your bisque was yummy. Now mine came out watery, how do you get it to thicken up? I followed exactly, except I added potato!

    Reply
    • Lady Heidi says

      June 11, 2013 at 10:01 AM

      Hi Sonia, I am not sure why adding some potato would make your Lobster Bisque runny. Ours ended up being nice and creamy. Not thick like a chowder or cream soup but with a nice smooth texture. If your soup for some reason is watery you might be able to add a little flour slurry and cook for 30 more minutes or so to thicken it up.

    I loved the sound of this recipe but due to my weight loss program, I had to lighten it up so here is what I did:

    Replaced low sodium chicken broth with Fat free veggie broth
    Added I 1/2 c. of cauliflower in the broth while cooking
    Replaced heavy whipping cream with fat free half and half
    Added 10 large shrimp and three lobster tails (only had three in the freezer so had to supplement.)
    Puréed the broth with the cauliflower then added the lobster until cooked, shelled and rough chopped lobster and raw shrimp then added both to the broth until shrimp was cooked through.

    The cauliflower adds the creaminess that the fat free half and half can’t give it.

    It was spectacular!!! Thanks for the main ingredients this is a keeper at my house. ;0)

      Hi Michele, I am not sure if you can substitute or omit the tomatoes. Maybe you can puree/blend it well so that there are no tomato chunks? I don’t know..

    I’m not a fan of seafood, but my boyfriend loves lobster, so I am trying this for a special treat for him. Mine also seems a bit watery after blending, and I followed the recipe exactly. I’m trying to reduce the stock by boiling just it in a large pot. Hopefully this works…

    Hi! Just saw this and it looks amazing! Quick question though…could I use lobster AND shrimp? If so how would you recommend doing the shrimp? Raw shrimp and throw them in with the tail or pre cooked shrimp? I really want to make this but lobster tails are very expensive where I live so I was hoping to do a half and half.

    I made this a couple nights ago with a few changes and I loved it! The main change is I used canned (I know…) clams instead of lobster and halved the recipe. I subbed a bottle of clam juice for part of the broth. The main thing though is that I didn’t have to modify the seasonings at all-that NEVER happens with any recipe I make. I always have to adjust to taste. This recipe is spot-on for flavor. I also added some parmesan with the cream. I will definitely make this again.

    Hi! Do you think this would work if I made a big batch and froze it for later? Do you think I would need to make any adjustments before freezing?

    Reply
    • Lady Heidi says

      July 15, 2014 at 3:40 PM

      I am no so sure about how this would freeze since there is cream in the soup it will probably curdle and not be very appealing once thawed. You might be able to make the soup except for adding the cream then when you heat it up add the cream near the end. The only issue you may have with that is overcooking the lobster. But you could give it a try and let us know!

    Hi! This looks delicious. Maybe a stupid question- but do you put the lobster in the bisque raw or already cooked?

    Reply
    • Lady Heidi says

      October 29, 2014 at 8:04 AM

      Not a stupid question at all Veronica!

      You first start cooking the soup with just a very tip (the fan part) of the lobster tail. This just adds lobster flavor to the soup base. You discard those from the soup. And then you add the rest of the meat from the lobster tail (raw) near the end and cook only 45 minutes. If you put lobster in at the beginning it would overcook. It only needs a short cooking time (relatively speaking since we are talking about crock-pot cooking LOL)
