My mom used cream of mushroom soup which is ok'ed by me because I heart mushrooms. A twist on this recipe could be to use salmon and dill in place of tuna and beans, and a similarly heavy handed dose of pepper.

I grew up eating water-packed tuna, but now that I'm in charge of buying the groceries, I'll only buy tuna packed in oil. (I'm talking about ordinary tuna in vegetable oil, not the fancy Italian tuna packed in olive oil.) It makes a huge difference in taste. The tuna comes out of the can tasting like fish, not metal. Sure, water-packed tuna might be a bit lower in fat, but c'mon. You're going to drain off the liquid and then mix the tuna with mayonnaise or creamy something-or-other. We're not talking about heath food here!
