DIRECTIONS

In a large, thick-bottomed pot, sauté the pancetta in olive oil until crispy. Add the garlic, onion, and celery. Cook for one minute.

Add the ⅓ cup SIMI Chardonnay and cook until reduced by half. Add the tomatillos, potatoes, chicken stock, and thyme. Simmer until the potatoes are soft.

Add the poblano, corn, scraped corn milk, cream, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 3 minutes.

To serve, quickly sauté the lobster meat. Remove. Pour out the oil in the pan and deglaze with ¼ cup SIMI Chardonnay.

Add sautéed lobster to the soup. Divide the lobster evenly into bowls, and then ladle the hot soup into the bowls. Garnish with chopped parsley. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
