Lobster Bisque
Modified a variety of lobster bisque recipes and came up with this basic recipe. It never makes it to the fridge at our house afterward, but I suppose it would keep in the chill chest for 2-3 days. I definitely wouldn't recommend freezing it. Some people add dried cayenne pepper powder or paprika, I don't, but it's up to your taste!
