Corn and Lobster Bisque

Remember the Losterfest I posted about a while ago? Well we had another Lobsterfest at a friends house :) And we ended up with a left over lobster. We also had left over corn on the cob as well. So I decided it was time to make a bisque! I wanted something simple and also a little on the healthier side. Unfortunately I didn't find many recipes on the healthy side so I just adapted a recipe I found from Emeril Lagasse.
I'm taking part in Souper Sundays (Soup, Salad & Sammies) this time. I read about it in one of the blogs I read and I thought this would be a great way to encourage me to post more often and also to find some amazing recipes! And since it is for soups, salads, and sammies, I figured I'll be eating more of those in the near fututre since I got a job!!! (more about that in my next post).
The bisque turned out very creamy, a bit spicy and overall very tasty. I really loved soaking it up with some crusty bread :) Also, I cooked this dish completely on my own since Martin was off at the driving range with a friend. So I have yet to hear what he thinks about it. Now onto the bisque:
