Steps
- 1Begin by placing the beans in a large soup pot and covering them generously with water. Let the beans soak overnight for best results. Alternatively, you can opt for a quicker method by bringing the beans to a boil in water and then allowing them to sit off the heat for an hour to partially presoak them.
- 2Once the beans have finished soaking, be sure to drain and rinse them. Transfer the beans to a soup pot and add fresh water, maintaining a ratio of about 3 parts water to 1 part beans. Allow the mixture to come to a simmer before covering the pot and maintaining a steady simmer for 1 hour.
