- Heat the butter in a pan, then add in carrot and onion. Saute/fry till a light brown . Add in the thyme, bay leaf and parsley stalks and stir well till fragrant.
- Add in the crushed lobster and continue to cook for a further 5 min.
- Remove from the heat and puree the contents of the pan in a food processor, a little at a time. Return the processed mix to the rinsed out saucepan, add in the brandy & white wine and simmer to reduce by a 1/4, about 20 min. Then add in the stock and simmer for 15 min.
- Pass this the soup through a mouli or possibly food mill to remove the solids.
- In a bowl mix the rice flour with a little of the soup, then add in this to the rest of the soup.
- Return the pan to the heat, adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper then simmer for ten min. Pass through a fine sieve (this is optional - it will give you a silky smooth soup byt is not essential). Keep warm.
- To serve, pour soup into bowls, top with a dollop of semi whipped cream and a healthy pinch of cayenne pepper.
