2 cups lobster meat
1 teaspoon lobster soup base (optional)
1 onion
2 potatoes
1 cup water
1 pint whole milk
1 regular sized can evaporated milk
2 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 tablespoon parsley, minced
paprika, for sprinkling

Cook onion and potato in 1 cup water. When potato is beginning to become tender, add cooked chunks of lobster meat. Add salt and pepper. Stir in lobster soup base (if using - this step is optional). Simmer for 5 minutes.

Stir in milk, parsley and butter. Bring just to a boil and remove from heat. Ladle into warmed serving bowls and sprinkle with paprika (do not stir in).

Serve piping hot with chowder or Pilot crackers.

Serves 4.

For a richer chowder, stir in a few tablespoons of cream during the last few minutes of cooking.
