Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 cups lobster meat, chopped Use fresh or thawed frozen lobster meat.
  • 4 cups seafood stock
  • 1 cup heavy cream Adjust amount for desired thickness.
  • 2 medium potatoes, diced
  • 1 cup corn (fresh or frozen)
Aromatics
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
Essentials
  • 2 tablespoons butter For cooking the aromatics.
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Chopped parsley for garnish

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, cooking until softened.
  2. Stir in the diced potatoes and corn, cooking for 5 minutes.
Cooking
  1. Pour in the seafood stock and bring to a simmer. Cook until the potatoes are tender, about 10-15 minutes.
  2. Reduce heat and add the heavy cream and lobster meat, cooking until just heated through.
  3. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Serve hot, garnished with chopped parsley.

Notes

For a richer flavor, consider adding a splash of white wine to the base before adding the seafood stock. You can adjust the thickness of the chowder by adding more or less heavy cream depending on your preference. If you prefer a little spice, adding a dash of cayenne pepper can give it a nice kick. To store leftover chowder, let it cool completely, transfer to an airtight container, and refrigerate for about 3 days. You can also freeze the chowder, but be sure to leave out the heavy cream if you plan to freeze it.
