  3. Step 3

    Add tomato paste, whisk to dissolve it completely and add the cream. (If you add more tomato paste for color, be judicious: stop before you have made the mixture taste like tomato soup.)

I tripled the recipe so I could feed more people and: Adjusted cream and tomato paste to taste; cutting the ratio of cream a little and upping the tomato paste until a rich pink color was achieved Added cooking sherry to taste 4 dashes of Cayenne pepper 2 tsp Smoked Spanish Paprika Mixed in bits of lobster And fresh steamed corn cut off the Cobb, at the end while still piping hot Garnished liberally with chives and a leaf of fresh flat leaf parsley - cracked fresh pepper on top

Add cayanne pepper to roux.
Add 2 c scalded milk after the broth then finish with 1 c scalded heavy cream.
Salt and pepper to taste.
Optional: bits of chopped lobster
