Number Of Ingredients 22

4 lobsters, bodies
1 large onion, chunked
5 stalks celery, chunked
1 large potato, chunked
1 tablespoon fresh thyme
3 bay leaves
6 cups water
2 cups frozen peas
1/4 cup finely chopped celery
2 cups diced carrots
1 finely chopped onion
3 large potatoes, cubed
2 cups imitation crabmeat or 2 cups fresh crabmeat, if you have it
2 cups chicken stock
2 cups vegetable stock
2 cups heavy cream
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon fresh thyme
1/2 cup sherry wine
salt

80 unsalted saltine crackers (2 packages)

Steps:

  • STOCK:.
  • Combine the first 7 ingredients in a large pot and bring to a full boil.
  • Cook at the full boil for approx 1 hour.
  • Use a colander to drain.
  • Return liquid to the pot.
  • Dispose of the carcass.
  • Puree the cooked vegetables and set a side to be used as a thickener later.
  • SOUP:.
  • Combine the rest of the ingredients (except the crackers) in your large pot.
  • Bring to a boil.
  • Cook for 1 - 1 1/2 hours on medium heat - stirring occasionally.
  • Salt and pepper to taste.
  • Add the crackers approximately 15 - 20 minutes before serving. The crackers dissolve and thicken your soup.
  • The crackers are used rather than flour or starch in order to freeze the soup without it separating and they do not take away any of the flavour.
