- Crack or grind up lobster shells a bit. If you have a food processor, break up the shells and put a few peaces at a time until they break into small pieces. Cover shells with reserve liquid, add vegetables and cook over medium heat for about 25 minutes. Strain. There should be about 4 ½ cups lobster broth.
- To make roux, melt the butter and stir in the flour in a heavy saucepan. Stir while it heats for 1 minute.
