Continue to saute/fry for 1 minute. Stir in the water. Bring the liquid to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer till the peas are tender, about 1 1/2 hrs.

  4. In another mixing bowl, toss the lobster, fennel, red onion, and extra-virgin extra virgin olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.
  5. Using a hand-held blender, puree the soup till smooth. Stir in the lowfat milk. Season with warm sauce, salt and pepper.
