Cut the shells into pieces. Fry shallots and carrots together
with the lobster shells in butter. Add white wine, the stock that
has been kept and the tail meat, which has been cut into
pieces, and leave to simmer for 30 minutes.
Put the immersion blender in the cooking pot and grind the
soup with the shells and all. Sieve the soup into a pot.
Add tomato puree, allow to simmer and thicken if necessary.
For use as an appetiser soup: pour the bisque into mini-
marmites.
Before serving, spoon some lightly whipped cream, Cognac
and chopped parsley onto the soup.
