Boston Lobster Stew

Ingredients

• Parsley (2 tablespoons, chopped (for garnish))
• Salt and pepper (to taste)
• Fresh thyme (1 teaspoon, chopped)
• Potatoes (2 medium, peeled and diced)
• Heavy cream (1 cup)
• Chicken broth (4 cups)
• All (purpose flour - 1/4 cup)
• Garlic (3 cloves, minced)

• Butter (4 tablespoons)
• Lobster (2 pounds, cooked and meat removed)

Instructions

1. In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat.

3. Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir well to combine. Cook for an additional 2 minutes.
4. Slowly pour in the chicken broth while stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

6. Stir in the heavy cream and cooked lobster meat. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
7. Simmer the stew for another 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
8. Serve the Boston Lobster Stew hot, garnished with chopped parsley.
