Preparation Time:
1 hour, depending on how fast you chop the veggies, plus 30-40 minutes for heating.
Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
I have made this with and without the tuna and have never used the anchovies - some people don't like the seafood taste or are allergic to seafood. Shrimp could be substituted for tuna. I'd suggest adding any seafood on the day you plan to serve this.

The Westcoast Whimsical Wenches made a triple batch of this recipe in 2018 and again this year. Triple the recipe costs each of us about $13.00 and we get 8-10 cups, each. 2 cups is the usual amount available commercially in the store and that's about $9.00. The fun is that while we are sitting around chopping, we are talking about maybe recipes, maybe about a TV show we are hooked on or want to watch, just enjoying each others' company!
