Add cream and cook on med low for 10 min. Season with salt and pepper.
Take the tail meat and shread it by hand, not too big. Add to the soup. Cook 5 min.on med low. Serve hot. This recipe can be made with lobster, shrimp, clams or any seafood combination. ***for shrimp, or clams or seafood..use 2 cups clam juice and 2 cups chicken broth instead of 4 cups chicken broth. Always add the seafood the last 5 min.
