  • 1/2 cup cream (recipe does not indicate butter fat content)
  • 2-3 tablespoons butter or margarine
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper, freshly ground

Directions

  1. 1
    Combine onions and potatoes in a saucepan with water and cook until potatoes are tender.
  2. 2
    Chop larger pieces of lobster into small pieces.
  3. 3

  4. 4

Thanks for sharing this recipe Gwen. You have made my dh's day. Chowder just like his mom use to make. This was a great chowder. I let it simmer for 1 hour to reduce the liquid. It was rich, creamy, with a lovely lobster flavor, the potatoes and onions melted in your mouth. It was just perfect...Kudos
