Lobster Soup (Paris Boil fine hen lobster)

(Paris.) Boil 1 fine hen lobster weighing 2 pounds. Pick and chop the meat and pound the coral with 1 ounce of butter and rub it through a sieve. Add to the meat 2 quarts of white stock, 1 onion, parsley, thyme, and the rind of a lemon. Cook 1/2 hour, add a blending of flour and butter, and rub it through a sieve. Season it with salt, pepper, and nutmeg, add 1/2 pint of whipped cream, and serve, giving a little cream to each person.
