Lobster Bisque

New tradition? Maybe, maybe not. For many years now, its been our tradition to have a light supper on Christmas Eve. For many years that has been Clam Chowder. This year I decided I needed to make a different soup, with more of a pureed  or creme base. Mostly because my 100 year old mom has a hard time  with "bits" in her soup!

So this year I decided to try Lobster Bisque. After looking at a number of recipes I settled on the one in the New York Times Cookbook, with a couple of variations. I added some celery and horse radish, as well as a bit of my spice mixture with its cayenne base. Had a kick, pleasant flavour, but not too special. Maybe next year I'll try something different again.
