Creamy Lobster Bisque
This creamy and rich lobster bisque is the perfect way to start off a special Valentine's Day dinner.

In a large pot or Dutch oven, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onion, carrot, celery, and garlic and cook until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes.

Remove the pot from the heat and let the bisque cool slightly. Remove the bay leaf and purée the bisque in a blender or with an immersion blender until smooth.

Stir in the cognac and cream and season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir in the chopped lobster meat.

Reheat the bisque over medium heat until it is hot. Serve in small cups or bowls. Enjoy!
