Langostino Bisque

     The first time I had Lobster Bisque was on Nantucket 20 years ago.  It was rich beyond belief, flavor like I had never experienced.  In my quest to recreate that moment, I tried my hand at coming up with the perfectly balanced savory bowl of decadence.  It wasn't quite the same as that dark wood sea side cottage pub, but close enough...and my Hubby said he really liked it (#goodenoughforme).  Each of the six servings, (1.5 cups soup plus .5 cups Langostino Tails), are 399 calories, 13g carbs, 3.3g fiber, 9.7g net carbs, 16.5g protein and 29g fat.  If you are feeling the New England mood wash over you, give this a try and see if it makes you want to travel East.  :)
