• 2 Tbs whole wheat flour
• 1 clove garlic, chopped small
• 3 1/2 cups Fat-Free chicken broth
• 1/2 cup tomato puree
• 1/2 cup dry sherry

Method

1. Spray large saucepan generously with non-stick spray. Heat the saucepan over medium heat. Add the onions, jalapenos, and garlic; saute, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes, or until tender. Add 1 tbsp water. Cook 2 minutes longer. Add flour, stirring constantly, cooking for 3 minutes, or until lightly browned. 2. Stir in the broth, tomato puree, sherry, and salt and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes. Add the lobster; cover and simmer for 6 minutes, or until the lobster is opaque. 3. Add 1 cup of the skim milk to the saucepan. Whisk the cornstarch with the remaining 1/2 cup milk, until there are no lumps; add it and the paprika to the saucepan. Cook over medium heat for 5 minutes. Stir in the plum tomatoes and cilantro.

Notes: Great in the winter, it can also be chilled and served cold in the summer!
