Lobster Chowder
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 lb lobster meat, cooked and chopped
- 4 slices bacon, chopped
- 1 onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 cups chicken broth
- 2 cups potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 cup corn kernels
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chopped fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- In a large pot, cook the chopped bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon and set aside, leaving the bacon fat in the pot.
- Add the diced onion to the pot and cook until softened, then add the minced garlic and cook for another minute.
- Stir in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes to make a roux.
- Gradually pour in the chicken broth while stirring to avoid lumps. Add the diced potatoes and thyme, then bring to a simmer and cook for 15-20 minutes until the potatoes are tender.
- Stir in the chopped lobster meat and corn kernels, then pour in the heavy cream. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Simmer for another 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chowder has thickened slightly.
- Serve the lobster chowder hot, garnished with the crispy bacon and chopped fresh parsley.
Lobster chowder has a rich history rooted in the coastal regions of New England, where it has been a staple for centuries. This creamy, hearty soup is a beloved dish that showcases the region's abundant seafood. Renowned chefs like Jasper White and Gordon Ramsay have put their own spin on this classic, elevating it to new heights. The best versions of this dish can be found in quaint seaside restaurants along the Maine coast, where fresh lobster is abundant. The key to a perfect lobster chowder lies in the quality of the lobster and the balance of flavors in the creamy broth. Some chefs also add a touch of sherry or brandy for an extra depth of flavor. Whether enjoyed in a rustic seaside shack or a fine dining establishment, lobster chowder is a true taste of New England's culinary heritage.
