Summer Lobster Corn Chowder
Summer Lobster Corn Chowder is one of our favorite summer soups. We like this soup for several reasons. First of all, lobster is hands down my family’s favorite food. In fact, since we have been all been working and attending school at home, we have a new tradition called Lobster Tuesday. That’s when we have lobster for lunch every Tuesday, right after I get home from my weekly supermarket trip. Sometimes we have lobster rolls, and sometimes we have lobster salad. But yesterday we had this rich and creamy Lobster Corn Chowder. I fill this chowder with potatoes, and corn, and ham, and bacon, and of course, lobster, that I think it was our best Lobster Tuesday yet.
