Step 1

Put minced shallots and garlic in a microwave safe bowl and microwave on high for 2-3 minutes or until the shallots are wilted and starting to turn translucent. (You can also cook them in a small skillet if you don't have a microwave)

Step 2

Add shallot and garlic mixture to a 4-quart or larger slow cooker.

Step 3

Continue adding tomatoes, chicken broth, old bay seasoning, dill, parsley, pepper & paprika to the slow cooker.

Step 4

With a sharp knife cut off the fan part of the very end of the lobsters and add those to the slow cooker.

Step 5

Stir, cover and cook on LOW for 6 hours or on HIGH for 3 hours.

Step 6

Remove the lobster tail ends and discard.

Step 7

Using a blender or immersion blender puree the soup mixture to your desired chunkiness. (I pureed half until smooth and the other half just a light puree.)

Step 8

Add the soup back into the crock-pot if you used a regular blender.

Step 9

Add your lobster tails to the soup, cover and cook 45 minutes on LOW or until the shells turn red and the lobster meat is cooked.

Step 10

Remove lobster tails from the soup and let cool slightly.

Step 11

While the lobster is cooling add the cream and stir.

Step 12

With a sharp knife cut each lobster tail in half long-ways and remove the lobster flesh from the shells.

Step 13

Discard shells and roughly chop lobster meat and add back into the soup.

Step 14

Serve and enjoy!
