Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.
Maine Lobster Stew
- add review
- #5258
30-60 minutes
ingredients
4 fresh lobsters
4 tablespoons butter
1 pint heavy cream
1 quart milk
salt and pepper
directions
Steam or boil the lobsters for 18 minutes. Place cooked lobsters on several platters to cool and catch the juices.
After the lobsters have cooled, pick the meat from them. Remove the green liver (tomalley) and any coral (roe) found. After all the meat is picked out, saute tomalley and roe in 1 1/2 tablespoons of butter in a heavy cooking pot for three minutes. Add more butter and some of the lobster meat into the pot. Repeat this until all the lobster meat has been sauteed for five to ten minutes.
Add the cream, the reserved lobster juices, and the milk. Simmer uncovered on low heat for several hours, taking care not to boil. Salt and pepper to taste.
cook's notes
To enhance the flavor of the lobster stew, make it the day before you plan to serve.

A can of cream of mushroom soup can be a real dinner saver. It works great in casseroles and can turn into a sauce or gravy in a pinch.
What's the secret ingredient in these cakes? Pudding mix. It not only adds flavor but it gives the cake a richer, creamier texture. No one will know your secret ingredient!
