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.

I'm allergic to lobster, so I substituted shrimp. It turned out great!

This recipe is missing some key ingredients. It needs more salt, pepper, and garlic.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my chowder turned out bland. I think I might have added too much water.

This was a delicious and easy-to-make chowder. I used frozen corn and lobster, and it still turned out great.

I followed the recipe exactly and the chowder turned out great! The only thing I would change is to add a little more salt and pepper to taste.

I was skeptical about trying this recipe because I'm not a huge fan of corn chowder. But I was pleasantly surprised! The lobster added a richness and depth of flavor that I didn't expect. I'll definitely be making this again.
