Tuna soup is a hearty dish from the Aegean coastal cuisine, made by simmering canned tuna with potatoes, carrots, and tomatoes, then brightening it with lemon. It can also be packed in a thermos for a lunchbox.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Sauté the vegetables

8 min

Sauté the finely chopped onion in olive oil until softened. Add the diced potatoes and carrots and sauté for 5 more minutes.

2

Simmer

20 min

Add the grated tomato and vegetable broth and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 20 minutes, until the potatoes are tender.

3

Add the tuna

5 min

Add the drained tuna and salt and simmer for 5 more minutes.

4

Finish with lemon

2 min

Remove from the heat, stir in the lemon juice and dill, and serve hot.

Reminder

If you add the tuna too early, it may break apart and become mushy during the long simmer; wait until the final 5 minutes. Allergen: contains fish.

Patates yerine editör notundaki gibi kırmızı mercimek kullandım ve süreyi 15 dakikaya indirdim, çorba gerçekten daha koyu kıvamlı oldu. Tek fark, mercimek suyu daha çok emdiğinden son aşamada biraz daha sebze suyu eklemem gerekti.

Patatesler tarifte yazan 20 dakikada tam yumuşamadı, benim tencerem geniş olduğu için ısıyı daha yavaş aldı; 28 dakika civarında kaynatınca istediğim kıvama geldi. Yine de çorbanın tadı gayet dengeliydi.
