From: HungryMonster.com
Serves: 4
 

Ingredients:

1 can low-sodium stewed tomatoes
1 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
8 ounces bottle of clam juice
3 medium leeks -- sliced (one cup)
1/2 cup water
1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
1 teaspoon finely shredded orange peel
8 ounces fresh or frozen lobster tail OR 6 oz cooked lobster, cut into chunks
8 ounces fresh or frozen peeled and deveined shrimp
4 slices French bread -- toasted (opt.)
4 sprigs snipped fresh parsley -- (opt.)
 

Preparation:

In a 4-1/2- or 5-quart Dutch oven combine tomatoes, broth, clam juice, leeks, water, Cajun seasoning, and orange peel. Bring to boiling; reduce heat cover and simmer for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, if using lobster tail, thaw lobster, if frozen. Use kitchen shears to cut lengthwise through the lobster shell. Turn tail over and cut through underside shell and meat. Cut each halved tail crosswise through shell and meat 3 or 4 times to make 6 or 8 pieces total. Add lobster pieces and shrimp to broth mixture. (DO NOT ADD cooked lobster or surimi at this point.) Bring almost to boiling, then reduce heat. Simmer gently for 2 to 3 minutes or until shrimp just turn pink. Add cooked lobster or surimi, if using; simmer about 1 minute if using; simmer about 1 minute more or until heated through. To serve, place a bread slice into each soup bowl, if desired. Spoon shrimp mixture atop. sprinkle with Parsley. Makes 4 main-dish servings. Source: BETTER HOMES AND GARDENS, January 1994
