"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!"

Pretty interesting combination, but actually quite good and surprisingly not fishy. The high protein also makes it very filling. I won't be making this every night, but definitely one I will make more than once.
