Then I read that if you cook them with salt, they stay hard. So now, after I soak the beans/legumes a day or two, I cook them in water only. When they are soft, I add the the other ingredients. One day last week, all I added to the cooked beans was cut-up leftover chicken. The flavour in the chicken added enough taste to the soup/stew. Amazingly even my picky eater son loved it!sheldonandreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06249115229772090281noreply@blogger.com
