COLD POTATO SOUP WITH LOBSTER SALAD

Steps:

• To make the soup, place the potatoes, the leeks, the garlic and the chicken broth in a pot, cover and simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat until the mixture is cool enough to handle. Stir in the buttermilk. Pass the mixture through a food mill -- a food processor will render a gluey soup. When the mixture is ground, slowly add the milk or cream, stirring until the desired consistency has been achieved. Taste, adjust the seasoning and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
• To make the salad, place the salt and pepper and the lemon juice in a bowl and slowly whisk in the olive oil. Add the lobster meat and the fennel and toss gently to combine. Add the minced chervil.
• To serve, ladle the soup into 6 bowls and place cup of the lobster mixture in the center of the soup. Garnish with chervil and serve immediately.
