I would soak the beans overnight so they soften and then boil them for an hour.

SOOO good! I used GP’s tweaks of canned beans and increased carrot. Then I added 3 frozen basil cubes which took it to the next level!!
Also just used garlic cubes to make it easier.

Great soup , but it got even better with a few tweaks . Firstly, since I short on time, I used canned beans ( 3 cans of great northern beans). I also added celery and incereased the onions to 2, the carrots to 3 and the potato to 3 as well. I partially blended the soup directly in the pot. The taste was lbland even after I increased the salt and pepper so i added dried parsley, oregano and thyme and a splash of lemon juice. Delicious!
