Review: Phillips Lobster Bisque

Phillips - Soup For One

Anyone that knows me knows that I love Lobster Bisque! I’ve ordered Lobster Bisque at hundreds of restaurants over the years, and I’ve never been disappointed.

Believe it or not, one of the best Lobster Bisques is served at Red Lobster – It has a decent amount of lobster meat, good flavor, and just a little bit of heat. Then without warning, they removed the lobster bisque from their menu! Thankfully, corporate had a change of heart, and they brought the lobster bisque back! It’s still as good as ever..

Anyway, getting back on track.. One day I was in the grocery store, and I saw a package of Phillips Lobster Bisque. I’ve never been to a Phillips Seafood Restaurant, but I decided to try it out, since they claim it’s “one of the most requested soups in Phillips Seafood Restaurants”.

Here’s how their website describes the lobster bisque:

A creamy blend of delectable morsels of lobster meat, celery, onions and sherry are simmered with our own delicious mixture of spices in a savory base.

Unfortunately, nowhere on their packaging do they mention celery and onions. If I had I known that, I wouldn’t have even tried it. I don’t want anything but lobster meat in my bisque!

That’s fine though, I used a strainer to get out most of the celery and onions. Unfortunately, the creamy base is the real problem here. It has a really peculiar flavor that I couldn’t put my finger on, but I definitely didn’t like it!

Next time, I’ll either make my own lobster bisque from scratch, or just out go to a restaurant. 😀

    I totally agree with Mr Chance, that there is a distinctive negative taste/flavor of the Base! I had to throw it out, for fear of an upset stomach, after only a tablespoon full.

    I just had Phillip’s Lobster Bisque @ Hartsfield in Atlanta – it was amazing! I’d try the store version in a heartbeat, although most restaurant deliciousness is hard to duplicate for a store bought version.
    As far as the celery & onions go, I didn’t feel anything but seafood, and I didn’t taste anything but a smooth, delicious lobster bisque. I wish I’d connected thru Hartsfield on my way home just to have another cup of that fabulous Bisque!

      Thanks for the suggestions Erma. It took me a few tries to score one, as my local Walmart seems to sell out of these in record time. But I finally tried this over the weekend, and it’s fantastic! Not a ton of lobster meat, but the flavor is great, and it’s hard to beat at under $3.
