Asian Style Lobster Soup

I hate not having the time to post every day, but I have been up to my neck in work for the last few weeks. Tonight's dinner is going to be one of my favorite Asian style lobster soup recipes of all time. I had the warehouse in Maine send mine out for delivery this morning, so they are sitting here next to my desk waiting to become dinner. Tonight I am going to make the time to prepare this meal myself, I miss cooking every day!
