### How to Make It
1. **Sauté the aromatics:** In a large pot, melt butter over medium heat. Add chopped onion and garlic, and sauté until soft and fragrant, about 3–4 minutes.
2. **Make the roux:** Stir in flour and cook for another minute to form a light roux.

3. **Add liquids:** Gradually whisk in the stock and wine, then stir in tomato paste and seasoning. Let it simmer for 10 minutes to reduce slightly and deepen the flavor.
4. **Blend for smoothness:** Use an immersion blender to blend the base until smooth (or transfer to a blender in batches). Return to the pot.
5. **Add the seafood:** Stir in cream, then gently fold in the crab, shrimp, and lobster. Simmer for 5–7 more minutes, just until everything is heated through and flavors meld.
6. **Season and serve:** Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Ladle into bowls and garnish with fresh herbs.
