Such a wonderful bisque to make. Mind you it is impossible to follow the recipe. You find yourself throwing in extra broth here, some more spices there, thickening it up some more with flour/cornstarch. Everybody just has a preferrence and that's okay. I think this recipe is easy to toy with. My recommendations are as follows. . . -use whipping cream as opposed to milk (keep it on low and constantly stir as to not let it scorch or settle) -use more worcestershire and just an eencie bit more cayenne or tobasco. -depending on what kind of bisque you like either chop up the lobster finely and have your bisque chunky, or cool it down once its all put together and blend it to really combine the ingredients. . . -Lastly, I don't know about all of you but if you have a fresh lobster to use, barbecue that bad boy with some gnarly add ons (lemon, garlic, worcestershire, pepper, etc) just to get your meat prefunked before it goes in the pot. . .

Very good base recipe, but like others, I needed to tweak it a bit. It is now one of my favorites in our dinner/lunch rotation.

This just tasted odd to me but my husband enjoyed it. I don't think I'll make this again though.

I did not try this as written but used m in miami's suggestions about cream, tomato, cyanne, etc and turned out great. Tip: if using immiation meat puree it first with milk if you like bisque texture.

I think the flavor of this dish was ok, nothing exceptional, but it was a little on the thin side and didn't quite live up to my expectations. Hubby said it was good, but I'm not sure he wasn't just complimenting the effort of making him an entire seafood dinner. I'll give it another shot eventually - hopefully I just didn't do something quite right since everyone else has rated it so highly.

I changed this by adding 1 cup heavy cream & reducing the regular milk to 1 cup. I also added 2 tsp paprika for flavor and colour without it the bisquye looks too white.I also doubled the Wostecher sauce. Every one raves about this. My husbands favorite.

AMAZING !! I was lucky enough to have frsh lobster on hand. Did as was suggested by others and used 1c cream and 1c milk. Also added a splash of white wine with the onions and some fresh garlic. One small can of tomato paste and the it turned out beyond my expectations. Thanks so much for a recipe I will make time and time again!

Wow! I havent ever had a lobster bisque, let alone made one so this was a nice first try! I did add some pepper about 1/4 cup parmesean cheesse and did half crab half lobster (and all I had was imitation). It came out fantastic (even with the imitation). We served it with some baguettes and loved it! Thanks for the great recipe!

Wonderful recipe! I substituted lobster with crayfish and added some lobster broth and lemon to the bisque. I also put half a tablespoon of flour extra into the butter so the bisque came out nice and thick. Great recipe! Thanks!

I thought this recipe was wonderful. I could not find lobster so I substituted crab meat. Also added 1/4 tsp red pepper,tomato paste 1 can and 2 splashes of wine. I will make this again. Thanks.

Delicious. I followed the recipe pretty much as written and it turned out great. I did use skim milk, and added axtra cayenne and Tobasco. We thought it had a good flavor considering the simplicity of the recipe.

This was just OK. I followed the recipe exactly and it never really thickened up. But my kids liked it, hence the four stars.

Good Soup. My mom enjoyed it more than I did. It was definitely better than the lobster bisque i purchased. I think it need to be a lil thicker so i recommend 3 TBS butter/ 3 TBS flour. I will make again when i have company but probably not for myself.

I had to rate this recipe. It was very good. I added more salt and worcetshire sauce and added garlic too. It needed thickening up so instead of adding cream like others have suggested I took half of the soup out and blended it and then addedt it back to the soup. It made the soup thick and a nice pink colour, without having to add the extra fat from the cream.

This bisque was GREAT! I made it for my daughter-in-law when she came home from the hospital with my first grandchild (a boy, he is beautiful!) and we both loved it! I looked at a bunch of recipes for bisque and checked all the reviews, and added 2 Tbsp of tomato paste as well, and some crabmeat (I only bought 2 small lobster tails) and it was so tasty! This one's a keeper, I've put this in my "favorite recipes!"

Very good, but I thought this was more like a chowder than a bisque. Next time I make it, I will try to make it a just a bit thicker and puree it. I also added a bit of tomato paste for flavor and color. Thanks for sharing!
