Prepare the lobster that didn't make the cut for service.

In a large pot, combine chopped white onion, celery, and carrot to create a mirepoix.

Fill the pot with water up to the rivets.

Put the pot on the stove and reduce it over medium heat for about an hour to extract flavors from the lobster and vegetables.

Strain the stock over a china cap to separate the solids from the liquid.

Return the strained stock to the pot and add white rice.

Cook the rice in the stock for approximately 10 minutes.

Use a handheld immersion blender to puree the rice in the stock until creamy.

Add heavy cream, butter, sherry, salt, and pepper to the blended mixture.

Ladle the bisque into bowls and garnish with chives.
