Yields: 6 servings
Ingredients:
- 1 streamed lobster (about 2 pounds), shelled, coral and shells reserved separetly
- 10 cups water
- 3 medium leeks, white and tender green, thinly sliced
- 2 carrots, coarsely chopped

1. Cut the lobster rail and claw meat into 1-inch pieces; refrigerate. Coarsely chop the shells. In a large saucepan, combine the shells with the water, leeks, carrots, celery, parsley, garlic, 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of pepper. Bring to a boil, then simmer over moderate heat until reduced to 3 cups, about 40 minutes.
2. Strain the lobster broth into a medium saucepan. Add the Napa cabbage and lobster meat and bring to a boil. Simmer over moderately low heat until the cabbage is tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in the lobster coral and season with salt and pepper.
3. Meanwhile, cook the ravioli in a large pot of boiling salted water until al dente, about 10 minutes; drain. Arrange the ravioli in soup plates and ladle the lobster and cabbage broth on top. Sprinkle with chives and serve.
