    Why You Will Love This Recipe

    • The creaminess! Coconut cream does wonders for that.
    • The lemon and old bday combination really make this whole30 soup recipe!
    • This recipe is simple to make and a healthy alternative to a restaurant favorite.
    • This recipe is naturally dairy free, gluten free, soy free, paleo, refined sugar free, and nut free.
    • It pairs well with other dishes or is great on its own. I love pairing it with my Gluten Free Biscuits.
    • This is a great way to warm up on cold or rainy days.

    Ingredients

    Dairy free lobster bisque ingredients in glass bowls on a marble background.
    • 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.

    See the recipe card below for a full list of ingredients and measurements.

    Substitutions And Variations

    • If you want to add additional vegetables you could add carrots or bell pepper to the pan with the shallots and celery.
    • You can also add other herbs to this recipe to slightly change the flavor.

    This recipe has not been tested with any other substitutions or variations. If you try something else out please let me know how it turns out in the comments below!

    Step By Step Instructions

    Shallots, minced garlic, and celery in a non-stick pan.
    First, place the shallots, minced garlic, and celery in a pan on medium heat with ghee. Sauté for 3 minutes.
    Shallots, garlic, and celery in a stock pan with all other ingredients except arrowroot powder.
    Then, add the shallots, garlic, and celery to a stock pan with all of the other ingredients except the arrowroot powder and bring to a boil on medium heat. You will be able to tell the lobster is done when the shell turns bright red.
    Immersion blender in a stock pot of lobster bisque.
    Remove the lobster from the pot, and use an immersion blender to 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.

    Equipment

    • Saute pan
    • Stock pan
    • Immersion blender

    Expert Tips

    • Tip # 1: If you do not have an immersion blender, you can always place broth and vegetable mixture into a food processor or blender. If you use this method you must be careful so you don’t burn yourself. Also, make sure to leave space for the liquid to expand within the blender or processor.
    • Tip # 2: If you have not worked with lobster before and want to cut in half for serving, the best way is to use a pair of sharp kitchen shears.
    • Tip # 3: To get the most juice out of your lemon possible, roll the lemon on a hard surface before cutting.

      Really good and easy! My lobster was frozen so I had to cook it a while longer but it turned out delicious. I was really in the mood for curry so I added 2 teaspoons of red curry paste. Would have been great with rice noodles but it hit the spot without them. Thanks for the great recipe!

      Hi,

      Did you use coconut milk? or coconut cream? It is referred to both ways in this article. There is a huge difference.

      Thanks

      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.

      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!
