Ingredients
  • 2 cups cooked langostino lobster meat, cut into bite sized pieces
  • ½ cup white wine
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • ½ cup onion, diced
  • ¼ cup carrots, diced
  • Salt and white pepper, to taste
  • ½ teaspoon Old Bay Seasoning
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 3 tablespoons flour
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 cup half and half
  • 1 cup chicken broth
Instructions
  1. In a medium sized bowl, combine the lobster and white wine. Cover and place in the refrigerator.
  2. In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onion, carrots, salt and pepper, to taste, and Old Bay Seasoning. Sauté until vegetables are soft, about 7 minutes.
  3. Add the tomato paste and stir to combine. Cook for another 2 minutes. Whisk in flour and sauté for another 2 minutes.
  4. Slowly whisk in milk, half and half and chicken broth, and bring to a boil. Boil for 1 minute. Reduce the heat and allow the milk mixture to simmer until it is slightly reduce.
  5. Pour the soup into a strong blender (I used the Vitamix) and blend until smooth. Return soup puree to pot. Taste the soup and add more salt, pepper or Old Bay, to taste. Add the lobster and white wine to the soup and simmer until lobster is just heated through. Do not overheat the lobster as it will become tough.
  6. Serve hot.
