Ingredients
  • 3 lobster tails
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 3 Tbsp butter
  • 1 onion, minced
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp pepper
  • ¼ cup all purpose flour
  • 2 cups stock (recipe follows)
  • 1 cup white wine
  • 2 medium potatoes, cubed
  • 1 cup corn kernels
  • 2.5 cups milk
  • ½ cup 10% cream
  • 1 tsp dried dill
Instructions
  1. Cut open the lobster tails lengthwise, and pull out the meat. Chop meat into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
  2. Place the lobster shells in a medium pot and cover with water (about 2 to 3 cups). Add a bay leaf and boil for 10-15 minutes, to make a stock.
  3. In a large saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Cook lobster, onions, thyme, salt and pepper, stirring occasionally, for about 4 minutes or until softened.
  4. Sprinkle the flour over the onions; cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Slowly stir in the stock and white wine to make a thick, smooth sauce.
  5. Add potatoes; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for about 10-15 minutes or until potatoes are tender.
  6. Add corn and lobster. Cook, covered for 5 minutes. Gradually stir in milk, cream and dill. Heat through, but don't boil. Serve hot!
