This French-inspired stew is so flavorful, it's hard to believe it's made mostly from canned goods. Use frozen chopped onions to streamline the process even more.

Ingredients

15 oz canned chicken broth, divided

1 large uncooked onion(s), chopped

15 oz canned cannellini beans, rinsed and drained

6 oz water-packed tuna fish drained, flaked with a fork

15 oz canned diced tomatoes, undrained

1/4 tsp dried oregano

1/2 tsp table salt

1/4 tsp black pepper

1/4 cup(s) basil, fresh, chopped

Instructions

In a medium pot, heat 1/4 cup of broth over medium-high heat; add onion and sauté until tender, about 5 minutes.
Add beans, tuna, tomatoes and oregano; stir in remaining broth and simmer for 5 minutes. Stir in salt, pepper and basil; simmer for 1 minute more. Yields about 1 1/4 cups per serving.

Notes

If you can't find fresh basil, substitute 2 tablespoons of fresh, flat-leaf parsley in its place.

Rouille sauce, a garlicky condiment that tops French bouillabaisse, is a delicious optional topping for this stew. For a quick version, blend together 1 slice of French bread (torn into pieces), 1 garlic clove, 2 roasted red peppers (from a water-packed jar), 1/8 teaspoon of cayenne and 1 tablespoon of chicken broth (or enough broth to make a sauce). Add a dollop to each serving of stew (not included in PointsPlus value).

I used fresh tomatoes (about 3 cups) instead of a can and it was delicious! I just need to cook in a little longer....about 15 minutes on medium low after the tomatoes go in to cook them. I also served it over 1/2 cup of brown rice (adds 2 points) to make it more of a filling and hearty meal. My 3 year old and husband loved it!!!

I love this recipe and so does my non-weight watcher husband! I used fish broth that I had left over in the freezer from making gefilte fish in the place of chicken broth. Yum!
