Tuna bisque is hearty enough to serve as an entree with a salad and bread or crackers.

Ingredients:

  • 1 large can (12 ounces) tuna, drained
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1/2 cup minced onion
  • 1/4 cup minced green bell pepper
  • 3 tablespoons flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3 cups milk
  • 1 cup grated Cheddar cheese
  • dash cayenne
  • 2 teaspoons diced pimiento or roasted red pepper
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons sherry, optional

Preparation:

Melt butter in a medium saucepan. Add onion and green pepper; sauté until tender but not browned. Blend in flour and salt. Gradually stir in the milk. Add shredded cheese and cayenne. Cook, stirring, until the mixture is thickened and cheese is melted. Stir in tuna, pimiento, and sherry, if using.

Great taste, easy to make, good way to use tunaApril 20, 2008By AJoySmith
"The only way I ever knew of to use tuna was to mix it with Miracle Whip and make sandwiches of it. This recipe broadens my use of this healthful and low-cost source of protein. It is very tasty and easy to make! When I make it next time I'll add more butter and cook the onions & peppers more thoroughly. They were a bit too crunchy in the soup when I made it the first time."
