2 large corn, unhusked
7 cup water
1 cup dry white wine
1 small bay leaf
2 medium leeks -white and light green parts only, washed
2 live lobsters -1 to 1 1/4 pounds each
1 medium red onion, peeled and quartered

6 small red potatoes, scrubbed -and cut into 1-inch cubes
1/2 pound

Instructions:

1. In a bowl of cold water, soak corn for 30 minutes.

2. Meanwhile, in a large pot, combine 7 cups water, wine, bay leaf and 1
leek; bring to a boil. Add lobsters and cover. Cook until lobsters turn
bright red, about 10 minutes. Transfer lobsters to a cutting board. Reserve
liquid.

3. Twist off lobster tails and claws. Using kitchen shears, cut underside
of tail shells in half; pull out meat. Crack claws with a nutcracker or
hammer and remove meat. Cut lobster meat into 1/2-inch pieces. Place in a
bowl, cover and refrigerate. Return shells to liquid.

4. Prepare a charcoal fire or preheat a gas grill.

5. Using a long-handled barbecue brush, lightly oil the grill rack. Drain
corn and grill with remaining leek, onion and tomatoes, turning
occasionally, until charred, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove leek, onion and
tomatoes. Grill corn 3 to 4 minutes longer.

6. Husk corn and cut kernels from cobs. Add to reserved lobster meat. Add
husks and cobs to reserved liquid.

7. Remove skins from tomatoes and add skins to reserved liquid along with
half of the onion. Coarsely chop tomato flesh, grilled leek and remaining
onion half and place in a small bowl. Cover and refrigerate.

8. Bring cooking liquid to a boil over high heat. Cook until reduced to 4
cups, 25 to 30 minutes. Pour through a fine sieve into a 4-quart pot. Add
reserved tomato mixture, potatoes, salt and pepper. Cook over medium heat
until potatoes are tender, 15 to 20 minutes.

9. Add reserved lobster and corn, reduce heat to low and simmer until
heated through, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Stir m basil.
Serve in wide soup bowls, passing hot sauce separately.
