Lobster Soup

I made this to celebrate my 2nd wedding anniversary.
Based on recipes I searched from internet and the book 最爱宴客 by 美基
Unbelievable easy.
Very tasty and no salts needed.

2 servings

ingredients

2 Lobsters (I bought them from Taste and u can ask the people there to cut the lobsters for u, and separate out the meat)
1 carrot
1 onion
2 celery sticks
2 tomatoes
4 cloves of garlic
2 shallots
100ml whipped cream
3 table spoon of tomato paste
some Thyme and Parsley

steps

1. Cut all the veg in small pieces and wash the lobsters
2. Use a stainless steel pan (which is large enough for cooking the soup too), heat it up, put in olive oil, add in garlic, shallots, and lobster pieces (apart from the meat).
3. Use high heat to cook the lobsters for around 5 mins,  then put in the rest of the veg, cook for another 5 mins with high heat
4. Put in 5 bowls of water and the tomato paste, thyme and parsley.  Lid closed, high heat until it boils, then turn to a medium heat and cook for 1 hour
6. Use a sieve to separate out the soup from the lobsters and veg.
7. Put the soup into a saucepan, heat up and add in the whipping cream, boil for 5 mins.
8. Lastly add in the lobster meat.  Ready to serve.
