This is a rich chowder packed with plenty of lobster. It can be served in small cups for a very special first course or in larger bowls as the centerpiece of an informal supper. The sour cream adds an unexpected and delicious tartness. Recipe from: Taste of Nova Scotia. Recipe does not include time to cook a live lobster but does allow for cooking the potatoes.
