In a large paella pan or wide skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat.
Add the sausage and chicken and cook until browned.
Remove from the pan and set aside.
Add the soyrizo, heat through and remove from the pan. In the same pan, add the onion and the next 4 ingredients.
Stirring constantly, sauté for 3 minutes.
Add the rice and wine and cook, stirring often, for 5 minutes.
Stir in the tomatoes and chicken broth and add the sausage, chicken and soyrizo.
Next add the clams and shrimp pushing them into the rice keeping them separate from each other.
Simmer the paella about 20-25 minutes or until the rice is just cooked and the chicken is completely cooked, covering the pan after 10 minutes.
Add the lobster and cook until it becomes opaque, about 6-8 minutes.
Add the olives and serve. Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro, if desired.
