This dairy free lobster bisque is literally the best soup EVER! The coconut cream combined with the old bay seasoning, lemon juice, shallots and chives is oh so delicious. You can have dinner on the table in less than 30 minutes!
What makes this dairy free lobster bisque so stinkin good:
- -The creaminess! Coconut cream does wonders for that.
- -The lemon and old bday combination really make this whole30 soup recipe!
Dairy free lobster bisque ingredients:
- Coconut cream-My go to dairy free cream alternative. I like the canned stuff from Trader Joe’s. It is literally just coconut and water!
- Tail on lobster-You can get it without the tail but I prefer to cook it with.
- Old bay seasoning-That is what makes this paleo soup!
- Lemon juice-To compliment the seafood.
- Bone broth-To break up some of the creaminess.
- Sea salt-To taste.
- Shallots-To give this soup some flavor. You can use red onion.
- Tomato paste-This gives the soup flavor and also helps with the coloring.
- Arrowroot powder-To thicken the soup.
- Celery-To add more flavor and nutrients.
- Garlic-To taste.
- Ghee-To saute the shallots, garlic and celery in.
How to make:
- First, place the shallots, minced garlic and celery in a pan on medium heat with ghee. Sautee for 3 minutes.
- Then, add the shallots, garlic and celery to a stock pan with all of the other ingredients except the arrowroot and bring to a boil on medium heat. You will be able to tell the lobster is done when The shell turns bright red.
- Remove the lobster shell from the pot, using an immersion blender, blend up all of the vegetables. Now, add the arrowroot in and mix.
- Remove the lobster from its shell and cut into chunks.
- Serve with optional fresh chives and red pepper flakes.
What should I eat with homemade dairy free lobster bisque?
- So many options! You could dip my homemade gluten free tortillas in it or just eat it plain.
How long does it last for?
- I suggest eating this paleo soup within 3 days. Be sure to store it in an airtight glass container in the fridge.

This recipe turned out AMAZING! So full of rich flavor and creaminess thanks to the coconut milk. It’s absolutely delicious.
I am so glad you liked it! Thank you for making!
This was absolutely perfect! Took a risk planning to serve it untested on Xmas, but it was so great! My family, none of whom are dairy-free, loved it. It was so great, I made it again the next day with the remaining lobster meat I had.
If you are debating, don’t!
Thank you so much Sarah, I am so glad you liked it!
best soup ever! it is so good and creamy, perfect cozy winter recipe
So glad you enjoyed!
Delicious 😋. For a non-cook as myself easy to make. I don’t even have allergy or food restrictions but the recipe sounded too good not to try. Can’t wait to try another recipe.
Wahoo! I am so glad you enjoyed it!
Hi,
Did you use coconut milk? or coconut cream? It is referred to both ways in this article. There is a huge difference.
Thanks
You can use either! If you like your soup thicker you can use coconut creeam 🙂
