Has anyone made lobster bisque with this? How was it, if so? Are there lobster pieces in the base?

I use this all the time..love it for lobster stew, bisque etc ..or any seafood soup, stew! NO it does NOT have lobster pieces! It is a flavor base, a very thick base. I add one tsp of the base (or TBSP at a time for large quantities) until the flavor meets my requirement I found buying WHOLE cooked, or uncooked frozen lobster at WALMART much more budget friendly! If you buy the whole lobster and cook it yourself, reduce the cooking liquid with the shells in it to one cup or less (after you've extracted the meat)for additional flavor! I make large quantities of Lobster Bisque over the Holidays for large parties and this method is a money saver, and makes it more affordable. Make it ahead, or leftovers, freeze very well in scantily (3cups) filled one qt size freezer bags, lay flat on a tray to freeze..Can make up to three months ahead. A huge time saver! Defrost overnight in bag in frig. or microwave defrost. I use crock pot to keep hot to avoid scorching (use boxed lo salt fish,or chicken stock to thin if nec.)

does this have any added seasoning like parsely, garlic, etc. that you can taste or just a pure chicken flavour?

The first ingredient listed is chicken meat and juices. It includes salt, sugar, unspecified flavorings, turmeric, and preservatives. It's very, very concentrated broth, reduced down to almost a paste. Even though it's low sodium, it is still very salty. So, use it sparingly and don't add salt to your dish until you taste it after adding the bouillon. This brand is absolutely the best product of its kind. It adds a depth of flavor to whatever you add it to. I use both the chicken and the beef often.

Are they cubes or just powder you measure out?

Neither. It's a thick "base" that you can measure by tsp and dissolves in hot water. I prefer this to either of the other types of bouillon. They have a great flavor and I love to use it in my soups and stovetop cooking. This Is all I buy now.

Easy to use, great taste

Another great Better than Bullion product, I needed some fish stock for salmon chowder that I was making and found this at Amazon. I have used the chicken and beef Better than Bullion for years and this product made from lobster was perfect.

Long-time staple in my kitchen

The flavor is rich and actually tastes like quality homemade broth – nothing artificial or overly processed about it. Perfect for quickly boosting soups, stews, rice, gravies, or even just a hot mug of broth if you've got a cold. It's super concentrated, so a little goes a long way. One jar lasts for several months in my fridge and takes up almost no space compared to bulky cartons of broth. Highly recommend if you cook regularly!

Best product for many uses.

I love this product!! So simple & easy to use but the best thing of all is that it is very flavorful. I will make homemade chicken soup & I use this instead of chicken broth because it adds great, additional flavor. I have also used it in making plain rice to give it a bit of flavor or when I make chicken gravy.

You control the flavor

Imo, the best bouillon out there. These bouillons add deep, rich flavor. The best part is you control how much flavor you want! Don't add extra salt until you taste test.

Superior product

Been using this product for years lost my local retail store and was glad to have it back on my shelf. Low sodium and superior flavor. But it seems much smaller and price is not so.

Awesome and great tasting.

Tried for the first time and I am amazed at the difference in flavor compared to liquid stock and bouillons. These gives food a nice rich original flavor. It can be used in all types of cooking. I will for sure be purchasing more of this in all flavors offered. I highly recommend for you to try, I think you will be amazed.
