Directions

  1. Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat. Stir flour, sea salt, celery salt, and black pepper into the butter. Gradually stir half-and-half into the mixture, taking care that no lumps form. Add lobster stock, stir. Reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring constantly, until the soup begins to thicken, about 15 minutes.

  2. Stir lobster, tomato paste, onion, and celery into the soup, season with paprika, thyme, and seafood seasoning. Continue cooking the soup to heat the onion and celery, about 10 minutes. Add cream, stir. Cook until hot, about 5 minutes.

Recipe Note

Adjust the spices to suit your individual likes. You may also substitute cream for part of the half-and-half. Chicken stock will work if you can't get lobster stock.
