Ingredients<\/H3>
\n<\/p>\n
    \n
  • 1 jar Perard du Touquet Lobster Soup<\/span><\/li>\n
  • One lobster tail in the shell, fresh or frozen<\/li>\n
  • 1\/2 cup cream, plus a little more for swirling onto the soup<\/li>\n
  • 1 canned black truffle, minced<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    <\/em><\/p>\n

    Preparation<\/H3><\/p>\n

    If the lobster tail is frozen, thaw it. Weigh lobster to calculate cooking time. <\/p>\n

    Place in a pan large enough to let it lie flat, cover with water, and bring the water to a low simmer (190F). Cook for 1 minute per ounce, then remove and set aside to cool. <\/p>\n

    Place the soup in a medium saucepan and begin to warm it over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally. <\/p>\n

    While the soup is warming, remove the lobster tail from its shell and dice it into 1\/2-inch chunks. <\/p>\n

    When the soup has reached a simmer, stir in the 1\/2 cup cream. Stir well to combine and simmer for a few more minutes.<\/p>\n

    Divide the lobster chunks among the serving dishes, mounding it in the middle of the dishes. Ladle the soup around the lobster, then drizzle a spoonful of cream around each mound of lobster. Sprinkle the lobster meat with the finely-minced truffle and serve immediately. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
