Preparation

Step 1
Combine the water and garlic in a large saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Lower the heat and simmer until reduced to 1 quart, about 2 hours. Strain.
Step 2
Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Toss the bread cubes with the olive oil and bake until crisp, about 12 minutes.
Step 3
Remove the tail and claw meat from the lobsters or carve the chicken, separating the legs at the joint and quartering the breast.
Step 4
Stir the salt, lemon juice and parsley into the broth. Divide the lobster meat or chicken pieces among 4 large, shallow soup bowls. Ladle the broth over them and sprinkle with the diced tomato. Top with croutons and serve immediately.
