For a richer flavor, consider using lobster stock in place of chicken stock. A splash of dry sherry or brandy can add depth to the soup's flavor profile. Add it along with the cream. Garnish with a sprig of fresh parsley or a drizzle of cream before serving. For a smoother consistency, use an immersion blender to lightly blend the soup before adding the cream. Be careful not to over-blend, as this can make the lobster tough. If making ahead, prepare the soup up to the point of adding the cream. Cool completely and refrigerate. Reheat gently and stir in the cream just before serving.
