So before you go to bed, dump your beans in a big bowl and add enough water to cover your beans. That way when you wake up they will be ready.</p>

<p class="has-karla-font-family has-custom-font wp-block-paragraph" style="font-family:Karla;font-size:20px">Now grab another pot that is big enough to hold 8 cups of soup, and drizzle in some olive oil to sauté your veggies. Start with onions and add a dash of salt and pepper with each vegetable you add. Next, you&#8217;ll add some diced tomatoes. For this batch, I ended up using some frozen tomatoes from the garden. You&#8217;ll need roughly 1/2 cup.</p>



<div style="height:52px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p class="has-karla-font-family has-custom-font wp-block-paragraph" style="font-family:Karla;font-size:20px">Now, go ahead and dump your beans in a strainer and give them one last rinse before adding them to the pot. </p>

<p class="has-karla-font-family has-custom-font wp-block-paragraph" style="font-family:Karla;font-size:20px">Let it cook on low for 2-3 hours. Then use a stick blender, stick it in your soup, and blend on low until you have some beans and some liquid—a good balance. </p>

<p class="has-karla-font-family has-custom-font wp-block-paragraph" style="font-family:Karla;font-size:20px">Now you&#8217;re ready to add your seasoning. Add 1 1/2 teaspoons of cumin and 1 1/2 teaspoons of chili powder. And add a dash of salt and pepper and a pile of cilantro. Season to taste. If it needs more seasoning add it!

<p class="has-karla-font-family has-custom-font wp-block-paragraph" style="font-family:Karla;font-size:20px">Your beans should be soft at this point. Continue to cook on low.
