Peel and dice the base ingredients - carrots, shallots and garlic cloves. Brown everything in a pan with a drizzle of olive oil.
Remove the shell from the lobster then cut the head in half. Put it in the pot. Deglaze everything with white wine.
Then add half a tomato, tomato pulp, thyme, a bay leaf and mix well. Cover the ingredients in the pot with water and cook for 40 minutes.
Meanwhile, prepare a roux. Melt butter in a saucepan then add flour little by little until you obtain a thick paste. When the 40 minutes are up, pass everything through a colander over another saucepan. Incorporate the roux while heating everything up.
Gradually boil the mixture then pour in the cream while whisking. Bring to a boil for about 10 minutes, taking care to stir occasionally so that the bisque reduces and thickens.
