YOUR SOLIN GENERATED RECIPE
Indulge in a luxurious bowl of silky lobster soup that combines tender chunks of sweet lobster with a velvety cauliflower base enhanced by a splash of creamy half and half. A delicate sauté of shallot and garlic infuses the broth with aromatic warmth, while a hint of olive oil rounds out the flavors in this elegant yet comforting dish perfect for a sophisticated dinner.
INGREDIENTS
6 ounces Lobster Tail
1 cup Low-Sodium Chicken Stock
1 cup chopped Cauliflower
1/2 cup Half and Half
1 small Shallot
1 clove Garlic
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
1 tablespoon Fresh Chives (garnish)
PREPARATION
Heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
Add the finely chopped shallot and minced garlic, and sauté until they soften and become fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
Stir in the chopped cauliflower and cook for another 2 minutes to begin softening.
Pour in the low-sodium chicken stock and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Allow the cauliflower to soften completely, about 8-10 minutes.
Once soft, blend the mixture until smooth using an immersion blender or a standard blender, then return the silky puree to the saucepan.
Stir in the half and half, warming the soup back to a simmer without boiling to maintain the creaminess.
Gently add the lobster tail meat (cut into bite-sized chunks if preferred) to the soup and allow it to warm through for about 3-4 minutes. Do not overcook to keep the lobster tender.
Season the soup lightly with salt and pepper to taste.
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with freshly chopped chives before serving.
