Soup and rolls – no grains, no gluten, low carb, healthy fat and lots of lovely veggies.  Perfect for lunch, especially this weekend in Auckland with the temperature dipping to -1C. But first up I must admit to two things!

The soup is just a different version of my other post. But, to be fair I have added a leek and ginger and changed the stock.  So I say it’s a new recipe!

And the cheese rolls; well no credit to me for the original recipe, but to the awesome folks from What the Fat (incidentally, this is a book you must buy, their Rocky Road Slice is to die for!). I have changed out the Psyllium Husks – for Chia Seeds and divided the mix into muffin pans then topped with a coating of cheese.

Anyway this is what it looks like on a fancy plate. So let’s just get going.

My first taste of Lobster Bisque was at Quincy’s Market in Boston. A little seafood chowder stall that served it up in a sourdough bread bowl. What was notables about this experience was that it was my first visit to Boston, all the way from Auckland New Zealand.
From the first mouthful I fell in love with the creamy, slightly spicy taste. So big thanks to Cooking without Limits!

Cooking Without Limits

lobster soup

Only in recent years have I come to appreciate the sublime joys of seafood. Being born in the middle of land, far away from sea, it is very difficult to have fresh seafood. After working and traveling around the world and coming in contact with seafood recipes, I discovered another amazing food experience. Lobster is  expensive to order in a restaurant and lacking in the nourishing qualities of more sturdy seafood fare, but  you live only once and consuming lobster once or twice a year is a must if you love it.

Bisque is a French soup very smooth, creamy and highly seasoned , classically based on a strained broth  of crustaceans. Is a method of extracting flavor from imperfect crustaceans not good enough to send to market. In an authentic bisque, the shells are ground to a fine paste and added to thicken the soup.
