Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 (1 1/2-pound) live Maine lobsters or 2 1/2 cups chopped cooked lobster meat
3 gallons water
3/4 cup salt
8 cups water
2 bay leaves
2 bacon slices, chopped
1 cup chopped green onions
1 teaspoon Hungarian sweet paprika
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
2 cups diced peeled baking potato
1 cup half-and-half
2 teaspoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon white pepper
2 cups fresh corn kernels (about 4 ears)
Chopped fresh chives (optional)

Steps:

  • Boil lobsters, covered, in 3 gallons of water and 3/4 cup salt in a 5-gallon stockpot for 10 minutes or until shells are bright orange-red and tails are curled. Remove from pan; cool. Remove meat from shells. Coarsely chop the meat; refrigerate. Combine lobster shells, 8 cups water, and bay leaves in stockpot. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer 1 hour. Strain lobster stock through a colander into a large bowl; discard shells. Reserve 4 cups. Cook bacon in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat until crisp. Add onions; sauté 2 minutes. Stir in paprika and cumin. Add reserved 4 cups stock and potato; bring to a boil. Cook for 15 minutes or until potato is tender. Remove from heat. Stir in lobster meat, half-and-half, sugar, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and pepper. Cover and refrigerate 1 hour, if desired. Return pan to low heat. Add corn; cook 5 minutes. Garnish with chives, if desired.
