Lobster Chowder (by WC)
1 pound chopped peeled potatoes, the largest pieces still
being spoon-sized.
1½ cups chopped onion, diced to 1/4 inch
½ cup whole butter
1 pint lobster stock - recipe below
1 pound cooked lobster meat, in bite-size pieces
1 pint whole or whipping cream
3 pints whole milk
2 teaspoons sweet Hungarian paprika
1 pinch nutmeg
1 pinch salt and white pepper, to taste
Simmer the potatoes with the onion and ½ of the butter in
the lobster stock until the larger pieces of potato are
firm but cooked through. (Make an extra cup of lobster
stock to add during the cooking if necessary.)
Sauté the lobster meat in the rest of the butter gently
for a few minutes until the butter colors reddish. Add
more butter if you like. Add the whole cream and simmer
for 1 minute. Combine all the ingredients in one pot and
simmer for 3 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Note: This chowder can be eaten right away, but is better
if refrigerated overnight and reheated.
Lobster Stock
3 pints water
1 cup onion, chopped
4 lobster shells, no meat
Cook lobster shells in water with onion for 1½ hours.
Strain the stock through a fine mesh. Add more water if
necessary during cooking to make at least 1½ pints of
finished stock
