Cook's Notes

Serve in warmed bowls, garnish with chopped chives and serve with Lorusso's famous Foccacia bread or Lavosch. *Lobster stock may be made fresh or substituted with a lobster base, making a fresh stock from lobster shells gives you claw and tail meat to chop and add to the finished soup.Fresh stock can be made ahead and frozen.
