Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and place oven-safe ramekins on a baking sheet. Lightly butter the rims.
  • In a large pot over medium heat, melt butter with olive oil. Add onion, carrot, and celery and cook 6–8 minutes until softened without browning.
  • Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  • Stir in tomato paste, smoked paprika, and optional cayenne. Cook for 2 minutes until slightly darkened and aromatic.
  • Add brandy or sherry (if using) and simmer 1–2 minutes to reduce.
  • Pour in seafood stock and bring to a gentle simmer. Cook 15–20 minutes to reduce and deepen flavour.
  • Blend the soup base until smooth, then strain through a fine mesh sieve for a silky texture. Return to the pot.
  • Stir in heavy cream and warm gently without boiling. Season with salt, pepper, and lemon juice.
  • Add the chowder mix and cook at a gentle simmer for 3–6 minutes until seafood is just cooked through and tender.
  • Ladle bisque into ramekins, leaving about 1/2 inch space at the top.
  • Cut puff pastry circles slightly larger than the ramekins, place on top, press lightly to seal, brush with egg wash, and cut a small vent slit.
  • Bake 15–18 minutes until puffed and golden. Rest 5 minutes before serving.
