Step by Step Method
Step 1
Cook half the potatoes and half the shallots in 1 l (4 cups) of the lobster broth until tender. Puree and set aside.
Step 2
In a large pot, saute bacon, remaining shallots and celery in butter until transparent, then deglaze with white wine and Dijon mustard.
Step 3
When wine has reduced, add remaining potatoes, herbs and remaining lobster broth. Bring to a boil and then reduce heat to a gentle simmer until potatoes are just fork tender. Add lobster meat, brie and pureed potato, then cook for 5 minutes longer. Season with salt and pepper, stir in cream and heat through.
Step 4
Taste and adjust seasoning.
