Tuna Bean Soup image

I think this is quite an unusual recipe. I had never heard of tuna soup so my friend gave me this recipe and swore it was delicious. You can use any beans you like in this. I like the little white ones with the pintos. So here it is -- something different!

Time 45m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 large onion, chopped
1/4 lb fresh sliced mushrooms (I add more)
5 cups chicken broth, divided
2 (15 ounce) cans pinto beans, rinsed and drained (30 ounces total)
2 (15 ounce) cans kidney beans, rinsed and drained (30 ounces total)
1 (28 ounce) can chopped tomatoes, undrained
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
1/2 teaspoon oregano leaves
1 (7 ounce) can canned tuna, drained & flaked (14 ounces total)
4 sliced green onions
red pepper flakes (optional)
sugar (optional)

Steps:

  • Saute the onions and mushrooms 8 minutes. Add 1/4 cup broth to deglaze the browned pieces.
  • Add the remaining broth, beans, chopped tomatoes, tomato sauce, and oregano leaves. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer, covered, 15 minutes or longer, if you prefer.
  • Stir in the tuna last. If you wish, add red pepper flakes and sugar according to your taste. Top bowls of soup with green onions.
