Scottish Lobster Bisque
Creamy Scottish Lobster Bisque (No Thickeners)
Yes, with a tweak: ensure no flour, cornstarch, rice, or other high-carb thickeners are used. About 8g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Scottish food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A luxurious and intensely flavourful soup, made from the shells and succulent meat of fresh Scottish lobsters. This bisque is meticulously prepared without any flour or starch thickeners, relying on a rich cream base and a hint of brandy to create a smooth, velvety texture.
Key ingredients
Fresh Scottish lobster meat and shells, heavy cream, unsalted butter, small mirepoix (finely diced onion, celery, carrot in minimal quantities), small amount of tomato paste, brandy or whisky, fish stock, fresh herbs, sea salt, black pepper.
How to make it keto
Crucially, ensure no flour, cornstarch, rice, or other high-carb thickeners are used. Verify that mirepoix (onion, carrot, celery) and tomato paste are used in very small, flavouring quantities only. No bread accompaniment.
Watch out for
Small amounts of carrot and onion from the mirepoix, tomato paste, and brandy can contribute minor carbs. Hidden sugars in commercial fish stocks.
