Lobster Soup Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 whole lobster 2 pounds in weight or 1 can preserved
- 1 quart of milk
- 1 pint of boiling water
- 2 tablespoonfuls butter
- 1 1/2 teaspoonfuls salt
- 2 tablespoonfuls corn starch
- 1/2 teaspoonful of mace
- Cayenne pepper
Instructions
Boil the milk, (a double boiler is nicest, or a stew pan set in boiling water). Dissolve the corn starch in a little cold water, and oadd to the boiling milk. If the lobster is fresh, pick the meat from the shell and cut in bits, place in a pint of water and boil five minutes, adding the butter and seasoning. Turn this into the thickened milin and serve at once with toasted cracker. Canned lobster should be cut up in the same way and allowed to boil up once. A delicious dish.
