Ingredients

  • 2 Cans of Lobster Meat or 16 oz. of fresh lobster meat
  • 4 c. Chicken broth
  • 1 stalk of celery chopped
  • 2 carrots chopped
  • Fresh parsley
  • 1 Bay Leaf
  • 4 oz. Salt pork chopped
  • 1 Large sweet onion chopped
  • 3 tsp. Garlic minced
  • 6 Gold potatoes cubed
  • 4 c. Sweet corn kernels
  • 1 c. Milk
  • 2 c. Half and Half
  • Cayenne pepper
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Begin by draining the liquid from your 2 cans of lobster meat into a pot.
  • Add the liquid from the lobster meat, plus 4 cups of chicken broth, 1 bay leaf, chopped celery, chopped carrots and a bit of fresh parsley to a large pot and bring to a low boil over medium heat. Cover and continue cooking over medium low heat until the vegetables are tender (5-7 minutes).
  • While the broth mixture cooks, begin cooking the chopped salt pork in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. When finished, remove from the skillet and place on a paper towel lined plate to garnish the soup with later.
  • In the skillet of drippings from the salt pork, cook the onions and garlic over medium heat until they begin to become tender.
  • Add the onions and garlic plus the corn and potatoes to the broth mixture, and bring to a low rolling boil over medium heat. Cover, and let cook until the potatoes become tender.
  • Add in 1 cup of milk and 2 cups of half and half plus a dash of cayenne pepper to the pot and continue to cook at a low rolling boil for an additional 5 minutes.
  • Salt and pepper your chowder to taste, and then add in the lobster meat. Reduce heat to a simmer, and cook for 3-4 additional minutes.
  • Serve with a side of fresh bread and garnished with some fresh parsley and salt pork.
