Lobster Bisque

Ingredients
2 lobster tails
5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
5 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 leeks, halved lengthwise
2 onions, halved
2 stalks celery, in big chunks
2 carrots, in big chunks
6 sprigs fresh thyme
2 tablespoons tomato paste
4 cups of lobster stock or water
1/2 cup dry sherry
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
4 cups heavy cream
1 teaspoon whole peppercorns
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Directions
Remove the cooked meat from the lobster tails. I roast them in a 400 degree oven with olive oil, butter, an onion, thyme and bay leaf. Season with salt and pepper. Heat 3 tablespoons olive oil in a large pot over medium heat and melt 3 tablespoons butter in it. Add the tails, leeks, 1 onion, celery, carrots, 1/2 the thyme, and the tomato paste. I also find some lobster stock at our local market and use that instead of water. Cook until the vegetables are soft, about 10 to 15 minutes. Add the dry sherry and sprinkle in the flour, stir, and cook for another 2 minutes. Add water to cover and stir up all the browned bits on the bottom of the pot with a wooden spoon. Add the cream and bring to a boil. Immediately decrease the heat and gently simmer until the soup is reduced and thickened, about 30 to 45 minutes. Strain this into a clean pot and season with salt and pepper if needed; keep warm. Add the cooked lobster meat to the bisque
