Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large pot, melt 4 tablespoons of butter over medium heat for about 1-2 minutes.

  3. Remove half of the cooked vegetables from the pot and set aside for later.
  4. Stir in ¼ cup of tomato paste and roast for about 1 minute, stirring continuously until fragrant.
  5. Pour in 4 cups of chicken stock along with garlic powder, dried savory, dried tarragon, and 1 cup of cream sherry. Bring to a boil for about 5 minutes.
  6. Gently stir in ¼ pound of langostino tails. Cook for 2-3 minutes until heated through.
  7. Blend the mixture in the pot until smooth and velvety using an immersion blender.
  8. Gradually mix in 2 cups of heavy whipping cream, stirring well. Heat over medium until it reaches a gentle boil.
