Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Creamy Lobster Chowder.
Step 1
Start by taking a large saucepan and adding your cubed potatoes along with some chopped onion.
Step 2
Pour in enough salted water to cover them completely, then place the saucepan over high heat and bring it to a lively boil.
Step 3
Once you see those bubbles dancing, lower the heat to medium-low, cover the pot, and let it simmer gently for about 10 minutes, or until the potatoes are nice and tender.
Step 4
After that, drain the potatoes and return them to the saucepan, letting the warmth linger.
Step 5
While your potatoes are cooking, grab a large skillet and melt half of the butter over medium-high heat.
Step 6
Once it’s sizzling, toss in the lobster meat and let it cook for about 5 minutes, or until the edges turn a beautiful golden brown.
Step 7
This step adds a delightful richness to your chowder that you won’t want to miss! Now, back to the saucepan with your drained potatoes.
Step 8
Stir in the remaining butter, the perfectly cooked lobster, a splash of heavy cream, a bit of milk, and a touch of sugar.
Step 9
Place the saucepan back on the heat and warm everything through, stirring occasionally to blend those flavors beautifully.
Step 10
Finally, taste your chowder and season it with salt and pepper to your liking.
Step 11
This is your moment to make it just right! Once it’s hot and comforting, serve it up and enjoy the deliciousness you’ve created.
Step 12
This chowder is not just a meal; it’s a warm hug in a bowl, perfect for sharing with loved ones or savoring all on your own.
