Original recipe (1X) yields 8 servings

• 6 tablespoons butter
• 6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• teaspoon sea salt
• teaspoon celery salt
• teaspoon ground black pepper
• 4 cups half-and-half
• 1 cups lobster stock

Directions

Step 1: Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat.

Step 2: Stir in the flour, sea salt, celery salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Step 3: Gradually add the half-and-half to the mixture, stirring constantly to prevent any lumps from forming.

Step 4: Add the lobster stock and continue stirring. Reduce the heat to low and let the soup simmer, stirring constantly, for about 15 minutes or until it begins to thicken.

Step 5: Stir in the lobster meat, tomato paste, onion, and celery. Season with paprika, thyme, and seafood seasoning, and cook for another 10 minutes to heat the onion and celery through.

Step 6: Add the cream, stirring to combine. Continue cooking until the soup is hot, about 5 more minutes.
