1 pound Yukon Gold potatoes, scrubbed and quartered
4 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup milk
4 carrots
1 medium sweet onion, peeled
2 tablespoons tomato paste
¼ cup flour
1 cup clam juice
1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
Pinch each of salt and pepper
6 ounces thawed frozen peas
1 1/2 cups cooked lobster meat
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400.
Place potatoes in a pot of water and bring to a boil. Cook until potatoes are fork-tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and return to pot. Mash with a potato masher or ricer and add 2 tablespoons of butter and 1/2 cup of milk. Mash again and season to taste with salt and pepper. Set aside.
Melt remaining butter in a large deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add carrots and onions and stir until onions are soft, about 5 minutes. Stir in tomato paste and then flour. Stir in clam juice, Old Bay and simmer until thickened. Stir in peas and lobster meat.
Ladle lobster mixture into soup bowls or rimmed plates, top with mashed potatoes and serve!
