### Ingredients:

For the Bisque:
– 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
– 1 small onion, finely chopped
– 2 garlic cloves, minced
– 1 large carrot, peeled and finely chopped
– 2 celery stalks, finely chopped
– 1 cup dry white wine (such as Sauvignon Blanc)
– 1/4 cup tomato paste
– 3 cups seafood stock (or fish stock)
– 1 cup heavy cream
– 1 teaspoon dried thyme
– 1 bay leaf
– Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
– 1 tablespoon brandy (optional, but recommended for depth of flavor)

For the Seafood:
– 1/2 pound crab meat (lump or claw)
– 1/2 pound shrimp (peeled and deveined)
– 1/2 pound lobster tail (cooked and chopped)
– 1 tablespoon butter (for sautéing the seafood)
– Fresh parsley or chives, for garnish (optional)

### Instructions:

#### 1. **Prepare the Aromatics**
Start by heating the butter in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, garlic, carrot, and celery. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened and fragrant. This is the base of your bisque, and it’s essential to develop those savory flavors that will enrich the broth.

2. **Deglaze with White Wine**
Once the vegetables are softened, pour in the white wine. Stir to deglaze the pot, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom. Let the wine reduce for about 3 minutes, which will cook off the alcohol and leave behind a wonderful depth of flavor.
