Soup Lobster Shrimp And Corn Chowder Recipe 46

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a Dutch oven or large pot over medium-high heat. Stir in the celery, scallions, potatoes and corn. Add the thyme, bay leaves, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper and cook, stirring, 3 minutes. Stir in the flour until incorporated, about 2 minutes. Stir in the milk, then cover and bring to a boil. Uncover, reduce the heat to medium low and gently simmer until the vegetables are tender, about 6 minutes. Remove from the heat. Discard the thyme sprigs and bay leaves.
• Transfer one-third of the mixture to a blender and puree until smooth, then return to the pot. Return to a simmer over medium-high heat. Stir in the shrimp and cook until opaque, about 4 minutes. Season with salt. If the soup is too thick, stir in up to 1 cup water. Divide among bowls and sprinkle with paprika.

Steps:

• Directions In a large stock pot, over medium high heat, cook the bacon for 10 minutes. Stir in the onions, celery, and carrots. Season the vegetables with salt, and cayenne. Cook for 10-12 minutes, or until the vegetables are soft. Stir in the flour and cook for 10 minutes, stirring frequently. Stir in the chicken broth and bring to a boil. Add the red potatoes and corn niblets. Stir in the Old Bay seasoning. Simmer for 15 minutes, or until the potatoes tender. Stir in the whole milk, Lobster and Shrimp. Simmer the soup for 5 minutes. Add the black pepper, Lawry's seasoning salt and Worcestershire sauce. Add the cornstarch that has been mixed in water. Simmer the soup for an additional 4 minutes.

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.

Steps:

• Melt butter in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Stir leeks into the butter and season with salt and black pepper; cook and stir until the leeks are tender, 4 to 5 minutes.
• Stir flour into the leek mixture until dissolved completely and the mixture begins to thicken; add half-and-half, potatoes, and clam juice. Bring the mixture to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook at a simmer for 10 minutes.
• Stir shrimp and corn into the potato mixture; continue cooking until the potatoes are completely tender, about 10 minutes more. Remove pot from heat, add lemon juice and chives, and stir.

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.

Steps:

• Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Transfer bacon slices to paper towels. Drain excess grease from the skillet.
• Crumble 4 slices bacon into the skillet. Add onion, celery, garlic, and thyme; cook and stir over medium heat until soft, about 5 minutes.
• Transfer bacon mixture to a large pot. Add corn and chicken broth. Bring soup to a boil; cook until flavors combine, about 5 minutes.
• Pour 2 cups of soup into a blender. Cover and hold lid down; puree until smooth.
• Return pureed soup to the pot. Stir in half-and-half, pepper, and salt. Bring to a boil. Stir in shrimp; cook until shrimp are opaque, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Ladle soup into bowls. Crumble remaining 2 slices bacon on top.

Steps:

• In a medium pot, combine the chicken broth and 1 pound of the corn.
• Bring the broth to a boil; immediately remove the pan from the heat.
• Working in batches, transfer the corn mixture to a blender or food processor and process until the corn is almost pureed but slightly chunky.
• Set aside.
• In a 6- to 8-quart pot over medium heat, saute the bacon pieces until the fat has been rendered and the bacon pieces are golden brown.
• Using a slotted spoon, transfer the bacon pieces to a platter lined with paper towels to drain.
• Set aside.
• Heat the skillet with the bacon drippings over medium heat and add the onion, bell pepper and celery.
• Cook, stirring, until the vegetables have softened, 10 to 12 minutes.
• Add the pureed corn mixture along with the remaining 1/2 pound corn kernels, the potatoes, milk, heavy cream and salt and pepper to taste.
• Bring the mixture to a boil, then immediately reduce the heat so the chowder is just barely at a simmer.
• Simmer the chowder until the potatoes are tender, 10 to 12 minutes.
• Add hot pepper sauce and additional salt to taste, if needed.
• Just before serving, in a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter.
• Add some of the shrimp, being careful not to crowd the pan.
• Saute until cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Transfer the shrimp to a plate.
• Repeat with the remaining butter and shrimp.
• Stir the chives and bacon into the hot soup.
• Ladle the soup into serving bowls and add 5 or 6 shrimp to each bowl.
• Serve immediately.
• If serving as a buffet, place the dish of sauteed shrimp next to the soup and let guests serve themselves.

Steps:

• In a large pot over medium high heat, saute the shrimp, crab,onions, garlic, and bell peppers in the butter for about 5 minutes or until onions are tender.
• Add the soups, corn, broth, milk/cream, cream cheese, rosemary, thyme, nutmeg, salt, pepper, and cayenne to taste.
• Reduce heat to low and simmer for 20 minutes. Serve with french bread.
