Tuna soup with beans

Tuna soup with beans.

The idea of this soup belongs to my in-law, when she was was trying to fix  s soup fast. Originally it  was different, but I liked the idea, and in fact it’s a great anti-stress soup.  So i improved the soup a little and voila: the combination of creamy pinto beans and salty chunks of tuna works just fine.
It doesn’t require high qualifications either , just chop everything and mix in a saucepan ;)

Preparation time:  15 minutes.
Cooking time: 45 minutes
Ready in : 1 h
Ingredients:
4 qt. water
2 cups of pre-soaked beans(overnight)
1 medium carrot (grated)
3 big potatoes (peeled)
1 small bell pepper
2 small onions
2 tuna cans
2 eggs ( hard boiled and grated)
1 tablespoon of salt
Black pepper
1/2 cup of finely chopped dill
2 tablespoons of sour cream.
1 teaspoon of vegetable oil
 Preparation:
Pre-soak the pinto beans (better overnight).
Set the saucepan at the medium heat and boil the beans for20 minutes ( they should be cooked by this time, if pre soaked overnight)

Peel the potatoes, onions and carrot.  Wash and cut the potato in cubes, wash and grate the carrot, wash and cut in small cubes the bell pepper.  Wash and cut in cubes the onion( divide it in two halves) Put everything ( except for the onions, put ONLY half of the onion chopped ) in the saucepan with beans and simmer for the next 20-30 minutes.

Meanwhile hard boil the two eggs. When the eggs are ready let them stand in hot eater for 10 minutes,then drain  and let them cool down.
Shell the eggs and grate.
When the veggies are cooked add the tuna, mix everything very well, add 1 tablespoon of salt ( this is to my taste, taste maybe you will need only 1/2 of tablespoon or maybe you need more), add black pepper according to your taste.add the grated egg and mix everything very well. Turn the gas to low heat.
Take the other half of onion and prepare the sauce with sour cream (2 tablespoons) , onion ( the half that is left) and the dill finely chopped. Proceed in this manner: start frying the onion on medium heat, then add the sour cream and then finely chopped dill, stir everything and pour the sauce in your soup.
Simmer for the next 5 minutes and your soup is ready!
Serve warm.
Enjoy!
