Lobster Soup

Mrs. Robert Harris.

One large lobster or two small ones; pick all the meat from the shell and chop fine; scald one quart of milk and one pint of water; then add the lobster, one pound of butter, a tablespoonful of flour, and salt and red pepper to taste. Boil ten minutes and serve hot.
