LOBSTER CORN CHOWDER
Steps:
- Remove the meat from the shells of the lobsters. Cut the meat into large cubes and place them in a bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate. Reserve the shells and all the juices that collect. Cut the corn kernels from the cobs and set aside, reserving the cobs separately.
- For the stock, melt the butter in a stockpot or Dutch oven large enough to hold all the lobster shells and corncobs. Add the onion and cook over medium-low heat for 7 minutes, until translucent but not browned, stirring occasionally. Add the sherry and paprika and cook for 1 minute. Add the milk, cream, wine, lobster shells and their juices, and corn cobs and bring to a simmer. Partially cover the pot and simmer the stock over the lowest heat for 30 minutes. (I move the pot halfway off the heat.)
- Meanwhile, in another stockpot or Dutch oven, heat the oil and cook the bacon for 4 to 5 minutes over medium-low heat, until browned and crisp. Remove with a slotted spoon and reserve. Add the potatoes, onions, celery, corn kernels, salt, and pepper to the same pot and saute for 5 minutes. When the stock is ready, remove the largest pieces of lobster shell and the corn cobs with tongs and discard. Place a strainer over the soup pot and carefully pour the stock into the pot with the potatoes and corn. Simmer over low heat for 15 minutes, until the potatoes are tender. Add the cooked lobster, the chives and the sherry and season to taste. Heat gently and serve hot with a garnish of crisp bacon.

Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients: Fresh corn and oysters add the best flavor to this chowder. If you can, try to get them from a local farmer's market or seafood market.

- Use a good quality stock: The stock is the base of the chowder, so it's important to use a good quality one. You can use chicken stock, vegetable stock, or fish stock. If you're using fish stock, be sure to use a light-flavored fish stock, such as cod or flounder stock.
- Add some vegetables: Vegetables add flavor and texture to the chowder. Some good options include potatoes, carrots, celery, and onions. You can also add some chopped fresh herbs, such as parsley, thyme, or rosemary.
- Season to taste: Be sure to season the chowder to taste with salt and pepper. You may also want to add a pinch of cayenne pepper or paprika for a little extra flavor.
- Serve with crusty bread or crackers: Corn and oyster chowder is a hearty and satisfying soup that's perfect for a cold day. Serve it with crusty bread or crackers for a complete meal.
