Time 40m

12 ounces elbow macaroni (or pasta of your choice, I use Barilla Extra or Ronzoni SmartTaste)

2 -3 stalks celery, chopped
3 tablespoons flour (I use Wondra, it helps!)
2 -3 cups milk
2 teaspoons cumin

  • Add peas. Cook until peas and soup are heated through.
  • Remove from heat, add tuna and 1 cup of the cheese.
  • If your pot is big enough, add the noodles. Otherwise, transfer soup and noodles to a large bowl and mix well.
