Recipe from "New New Orleans Cooking", by Emeril Lagasse and Jessie Tirsch
Published by William Morrow, 1993.
3 (1 1/4 pound) lobsters, blanched, cooled and shells cracked with lobster claw and tail meat removed
1/8 cup vegetable oil
2 ribs celery, quartered
2 tomatoes, coarsely chopped
1 yellow onion, peeled and quartered
1 carrot, peeled and coarsely chopped
2 sprigs fresh thyme
1 small bulb fennel
1 head garlic
Water, to cover
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • In a very large pot, render the bacon over medium heat. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside. Melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onions, celery, red peppers, and saute until soft, about 4 minutes. Add the corn kernels, garlic, shallots, salt, pepper, Essence, and cook, stirring, for 3 minutes. Add the flour and cook, stirring constantly, until the flour turns the color of peanut butter, about 4 minutes. Add the sherry and cook for 2 minutes. Add the lobster stock and cayenne, and stir well to incorporate. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally, for 15 minutes. Add the potatoes, stir well, and simmer until tender, about 10 minutes. Add the cream, lobster and assorted herbs, and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and ladle into bowls. Garnish with reserved bacon and serve.
  • In a large stockpot, heat the oil. Add the shells and stir. Cook for about 5 minutes. Add the celery, tomatoes, onion, carrot and thyme. Cut the fennel bulb in half and add to the pot. Cut the garlic head in half horizontally and add to the pot. Add enough water to cover the ingredients by about 2 inches. Season with salt and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer until the liquid has reduced by half, about 4 hours.

LOBSTER AND CORN CHOWDER



Lobster and Corn Chowder image

The base of this soup has intense corn and lobster flavors, thanks to what would normally be thrown out: the cobs and the lobster shells.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Soups, Stews & Stocks     Soup Recipes

Time 1h45m

Yield Makes 6 cups

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 whole lobster (1 3/4 pounds)
4 cups fresh corn kernels (from about 7 ears of corn), cobs reserved and halved
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh chives

Steps:

  • Prepare an ice-water bath. Bring 8 cups water to a boil in a large pot. Reduce heat to medium-low. Plunge lobster into water headfirst, and simmer, covered, for 9 minutes. (Do not let water boil.) Transfer lobster to ice-water bath using tongs; reserve cooking liquid. Let stand for 10 minutes to cool.
  • Crack lobster claws, knuckles, and tail, and remove meat; reserve shells and body. Coarsely chop meat. (You should have about 1 cup.) Refrigerate until ready to use.
  • Return shells and body to pot with cooking liquid. (For added flavor, chop body with a cleaver before returning to pot.) Add reserved cobs. Simmer, covered, over medium heat for 35 minutes. Strain stock through a fine sieve into a bowl; discard solids.
  • Heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Cook corn kernels, onion, garlic, and 3/4 teaspoon salt, covered, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 20 minutes. Add 5 cups lobster stock, and cook for 15 minutes. Let cool slightly.
  • Strain soup through sieve. Set aside 1 1/2 cups corn mixture. Working in batches, puree remaining corn mixture and strained liquid in a blender until smooth. (For safety, remove cap from hole in lid, and cover with a dish towel to prevent spattering.) Strain soup through sieve, and return to pot with reserved corn and lobster meat. Cook over medium heat until warmed through. Stir in chives, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and some pepper. Serve with lemon wedges.

Maine Lobster and Corn Chowder image

Few things are as delicious as succulent chunks of Maine lobster vying for space in a buttery broth brimming with tender sweet corn, summer squashes, and slivered basil.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Soups, Stews & Stocks     Soup Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 10

8 cups water
2 lobsters (1 1/2 pounds each)
1 1/2 ounces (3 tablespoons) unsalted butter
1 large leek, halved lengthwise and rinsed well, 1/2 coarsely chopped and 1/2 thinly sliced crosswise
3 cups fresh corn kernels (from 3 ears), cobs reserved and halved crosswise
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 small zucchini, cut into 1/4-inch dice
1 small summer squash, halved lengthwise and sliced crosswise into 1/4-inch slices
Coarse salt

Steps:

  • Bring water to a boil in a 12-quart stockpot. Add lobsters, cover, and cook 13 to 15 minutes. Set a colander in a large bowl. Working over colander, snip the tip of each lobster claw to release juices into bowl. Separate lobster meat from shells, and cut into bite-size pieces. Reserve meat and shells separately. Strain cooking liquid through a fine sieve lined with cheesecloth into bowl with lobster juices.
  • Using the same stockpot, melt 2 tablespoons butter over medium-high heat. Add chopped leek, corncobs, and reserved lobster shells. Cook, stirring, for 4 minutes. Add reserved lobster liquid, and simmer gently for 20 minutes. Strain through a cheesecloth-lined sieve. Discard solids.

Sprinkle in flour, and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Stir in pureed corn mixture, and cook, stirring often, until broth thickens, about 2 minutes. Add remaining lobster broth, raise heat, and simmer. Add zucchini, summer squash, and remaining 2 cups corn, and cook until squashes are tender, about 2 minutes.

Lobster and Corn Chowder image

Provided by Craig Claiborne

Categories     soups and stews, appetizer

Time 1h45m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 1-pound live lobsters
Salt to taste if desired
6 ears corn on the cob or use 4 cups drained, canned or frozen whole-kernel corn
1 teaspoon whole black peppercorns
1 whole onion, about 1/4 pound, peeled
4 bay leaves
6 sprigs fresh thyme, stems left intact
3/4 pound lean slab bacon with rind
4 tablespoons butter
3 cups coarsely chopped onions
8 small, red waxy potatoes, about 1 pound
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh thyme leaves or half the amount dried
1 cup heavy cream
Freshly ground pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Bring a generous amount of water to the boil, enough to cover the lobsters completely when they are added. Add salt. When the water is boiling vigorously add lobsters. When the water returns to the boil cook lobsters exactly 4 minutes. Drain. When they are cool enough to handle break off and reserve the claws and tails of each lobster.
  • Carefully crack the meaty portions of the lobster, the claws, tail and so on. Remove the meat but reserve shells. Cut tails in half lengthwise and remove and discard the intestinal tract. Rinse and drain the tail portions. Set aside. Put all the shells in a kettle. Add 12 cups of water and bring to the simmer.
  • Meanwhile, cut and scrape the kernels from the corn. There should be about 4 cups of kernels. Set aside.
  • Cut the cobs crosswise into quarters and add them to the kettle. Do not add the kernels. Add the peppercorns, whole onion, bay leaf and thyme sprigs. Cut off the rind of the bacon and add the rind. Cook 1 hour and 15 minutes or until the liquid in the kettle, when strained, measures about 8 cups. Set aside.
  • Meanwhile, cut the bacon into fine dice. There should be about 1 cup.
  • Put bacon in a clean kettle and cook, stirring often, until it is rendered of fat, browned and crisp. Add the butter and coarsely chopped onions. Cook, stirring, until the onions are wilted and tender without browning.
  • Meanwhile, cut each unpeeled potato into 8 pieces of approximately the same size. Add the potato, the chopped thyme, the reserved lobster liquid and the corn kernels and bring to the boil. Cook about 20 minutes or until the potato is tender but not mushy.
  • Add the shelled lobster pieces and the cream. Add salt and pepper. Remove the bay leaves and serve.

CORN AND LOBSTER CHOWDER



Corn And Lobster Chowder image

Provided by Christopher Idone

Categories     dinner, one pot, soups and stews, main course

Time 1h35m

Yield Six to eight servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

6 ears fresh corn (3 to 4 cups)
4 cups milk
4 cups chicken broth
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon sugar
6 scallions
5 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 pound fresh-cooked lobster meat, cut in bite-size pieces (about 4 pounds of live lobster)

Steps:

  • Husk the corn and remove all the silk. With a sharp knife, remove the kernels from the cob, slicing from the top of the ear downward and not too close to the cob. Place the kernels in a mixing bowl and reserve.
  • In a large soup kettle, add the milk, chicken broth and cobs and place over high heat. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer for one hour. Remove the cobs with a slotted spoon and set aside. Add the corn kernels, salt and sugar and continue to simmer over very low heat, for about 10 minutes or until the cobs are cool enough to handle. Use a small spoon to scrape the pulp from the cobs and add it to the soup mixture.
  • Meanwhile, clean and finely chop the scallions, including most of the green. In a small skillet, melt four tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the scallions and saute briefly and set aside.
  • In a small bowl, combine the remaining tablespoon of butter with the flour, making a smooth paste. Raise the heat under the chowder, and when it begins to steam, whisk in the flour mixture, season with pepper and cayenne, reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
  • Fold in the lobster meat and continue to cook another five minutes or until the meat is warmed through. Fold in the scallions and serve in heated soup plates.

4 ears fresh corn or 2 cups thawed frozen corn kernels
1 quart half and half
4 tablespoons butter
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
salt and ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Bring 4 quarts of water to a boil in a 6 to 8 quart soup kettle. Add lobster, cover and boil about 10 minutes. Remove the shells and carcass for stock. Cut lobster meat into 2 inch pieces. (Can wrap and refrigerate meat and shells overnight) Peel and cut potatoes into 1/2 inch dices, mince the onion (1 cup). Remove the corn kernels from the cob (or drain and set aside thawed corn) Put the reserved lobster shells and carcass in a large saucepan with the half and half. Bring the half and half to a boil, lower heat and simmer for 4 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside. Melt the butter in the soup kettle, add the potatoes, onions and corn kernels and saute over medium low heat until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Strain the lobster cream over the vegetables, bring to a simmer and then simmer slowly until the potatoes are tender about 6 to 8 minutes. Stir in the lobster meat, cayenne pepper, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Simmer just until lobster meat is hot, about 5 minutes. Ladle into bowls and serve with corn crisps.
