Directions:
- Remove any remaining meat from lobster. See note at bottom.**Place lobster shells (the entire things, head and all) in large pot. Pour in water. Simmer uncovered for one hour. Strain and reserve liquid.
- In a soup pot melt butter. Add onion and garlic. Cook slowly until onion is tender.
- Add celery and cook a couple of minutes. Add tomato paste. Cook and stir for one mintue.
- Add flour. Stir well. Add potatoes. Stir on medium low heat for about two minutes.
- Slowly add strained stock while stirring. Simmer until potatoes are done, about 45 minutes.
- Add heavy cream and any remaining lobster meat that was removed from shells.
- Simmer for 15 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
- **Note: To remove lobster meat from legs, remove legs from lobster. Cut of tip of the top joint (the one that was attached to the body). Using a rolling pin, start at foot of lobster and roll up across leg. Meat will be squeezed out of top cut. Thanks Alton Brown for that great tip.
