   • Start by boiling about 8 pints or 4 liters of water in a large pot.
   • Peel the potatoes, carrot, and onion. Discard the peelings.
   • Cut the onion in half, reserving one half for later use.
   • Slice the carrot into centimeter strips, then cut each strip in half.
   • Cut each potato into eighths, then halve each strip.

2. Cook Vegetables:

   • Dice the onion very finely. You can use a food processor for efficiency.
   • Add all the sliced and diced vegetables to the boiling water.
   • After about 3 minutes, reduce the heat to medium.

3. Season and Flavor:

   • Stir in the salt, black pepper, butter, and rum.
   • Add the three cans of Starkist Tuna, including the juice.
   • Sprinkle in the flour and stir until it blends smoothly.

4. Simmer:

   • Allow the mixture to boil for another 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
   • Reduce the heat to low.
   • Adjust the seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or garlic powder if desired.
   • Stir well after adding any extra seasonings or dry ingredients.

5. Thicken and Serve:
