LOBSTER AND CORN CHOWDER

A New England classic, this decadent lobster chowder evokes images of summers at the Maine shore - one of our happy places. Prepare this hearty chowder at the height of summer, when lobster and fresh corn are at their seasonal best. You can make this chowder in the wintertime, too – just use frozen corn! This is my go-to recipe when I want to impress a crowd. I hope you enjoy it as well. 

SEAFOOD CHOWDER

Mr.P and I love the Maine Diner in Wells, ME. This award winning diner serves up comfort food at it's best. The Seafood Chowder—Voted Best Chowder at the Ogunquit Chowderfest 10 years running—alone will have you coming back for more. Whenever we are traveling through that part of the country we stop in for a visit and a cuppa something hearty and good. Sadly we live in Texas and don't make it to Maine as often as we'd like, so I have come up with my own Seafood Chowder recipe. It doesn't come close to the Maine Diners divine bowls, but it is one of my most requested recipes just the same. I hope you enjoy!

LOBSTER CORN CHOWDER

When local corn is available, I can’t get enough of it. As the days get shorter and the evenings cooler, I love to make LOBSTER CORN CHOWDER. It’s summery yet hearty enough to serve big bowls for dinner. 

First, I make the stock with the lobster shells and corn cobs, then add lots of fresh corn, lobster meat, potatoes, bacon, celery, and some fresh chives. This is summer comfort food at it’s best—I may just have to make a pot this weekend!
