Carol A's Lobster Chowder

Another Carol A fantastic recipe. A great chowder for about $100! Feeds 12 at least!

½ pound salt pork, finely diced
2 large onions, sliced
½ potato per person, diced
6 pounds lobster tails and claws
Lobster stock - 2 to 3 quarts
1-1/2 quarts milk
1 - 10 oz package frozen corn
1 stick unsalted butter
3-1/2 pints heavy cream
Garlic salt and pepper to taste


Brown the salt pork in a heavy 4-quart soup pot over medium heat until crisp and browned and most of the fat has been rendered. This will take about 8 minutes. Add the onions. Cook over medium heat for 8 to 10 minutes until the onions are tender but not browned. Add the potatoes and enough stock to cover them. Turn up the heat and boil for 15 or 20 minutes until the potatoes are tender. Add milk, corn, garlic, salt, and pepper to taste. Then add butter and cream and heat to serving temperature.
