How to Make Lobster Chowder

In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, celery, and carrots. Sauté for about 5 minutes until they soften and release their aroma.
Pour in the vegetable or chicken stock, stirring well. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.
Add the corn and dried thyme. Season generously with salt and pepper. Let it simmer gently for another 5 minutes until the corn is tender and sweet.
Reduce the heat to low. Carefully add the heavy cream and the lobster chunks, stirring gently. Allow it to simmer for about 10 minutes until warmed through, letting those flavors intertwine.
Give it a taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Ladle the chowder into vibrant bowls, garnish with fresh chives, and serve hot for that ultimate comfort experience.
Serve with crusty bread or crackers for delightful dipping!
