This is a wonderful recipe for easy lobster bisque I created after our store was selling imitation lobster meat at ridiculously low prices. It has become a family favorite. Sprinkle lightly with paprika, if desired, to add color.

Ingredients

4 medium onions, chopped
1 ½ cups chicken broth
2 cloves garlic, minced
5 tablespoons butter
4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup milk
1 cup heavy cream
6 tablespoons tomato paste
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon seafood seasoning (such as Old Bay®)
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
24 ounces imitation lobster meat
¾ cup white wine
1 pinch ground paprika, or to taste

Steps:

Cook onions and 1/2 cup chicken broth in a large pot over medium heat for 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 2 minutes. Reduce heat to low, add remaining chicken broth, and bring to a simmer.
Melt butter in a medium saucepan. Whisk in flour until a creamy mixture is created. Gradually pour roux into the broth mixture, whisking constantly. Whisk in milk, cream, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, seafood seasoning, salt, and cayenne pepper; cook until thickened, 3 to 5 minutes.
Place imitation lobster in a food processor; pulse about 6 times.
Add imitation lobster and wine to soup; cook over low until heated through, 5 to 7 minutes.
Ladle soup into serving bowls and sprinkle lightly with paprika to add color.
