Ingredients

3 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup chopped fresh mushrooms
2 tablespoons chopped onion
2 tablespoons chopped celery

1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 1/2 cups half-and-half
1/2 cup dry white wine
1/2 pound cooked lump lobster meat

Directions

1 Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium-low heat. Add mushrooms, onion, celery, and carrot. Cook and stir until tender, about 10 minutes.
