Remove as many pieces of shell as possible. Put soup through food mill and
return milled broth to pan. Add the reserved lobster meat and rice. Simmer
over low heat another 45 minutes, or until reduced to 2 cups.
Pulse shells in a food processor until finely chopped. Melt butter in a
saute pan, add chopped shells and saute 5 minutes. Strain, reserving butter
and discarding shells.
Transfer reduced lobster-rice mixture to blender and puree. Strain the
puree through a sieve over a mixing bowl and return broth to pot. Add the
lobster butter and stir well.
Add cognac and heat for 5-7 minutes. Add the light cream and milk. Heat
