This recipe is from William-Sonoma catalog. Posted by seductionmeals.com- and I love it so much I wanted to post it here for you too! I just love that William-Sonoma store- and they have some of the best cookbooks! This chowder is even better the second day! I know this is an expensive chowder to make - but it is for a "Special Occasion" like your anniversary, Valentine Day, New Year's Day! or that cold day in winter or that rainy day that is so dreary you need a bowl of this delicious chowder- and take a sip of the white wine while your at it and snap out of the blues!

Reserve shells and bodies.

2In a large pot over high heat, warm the oil. Add the lobster shells and bodies and sauté until lightly browned, about 5 minutes.(skip this part if using frozen lobster meal- just but meat in with the chicken broth and clam juice and a bit of the lobster water, wine and corn cobs. Bring to a simmer and cook until reduced to about 2 1/2 cups about 30 minutes.
