Cooking Beans Without Soaking

Beans do not need to be soaked! I got permission here: https://www.epicurious.com/expert-advice/soaking-salting-dried-bean-myths-article

I find it much easier to throw everything in the pot and just let it simmer.

Grab a bag of beans and dump them in a large pot.

Add enough broth (chicken, beef, or vegetable) to cover the beans by about an inch. I generally do a box of stock and the same amount of water.

Add a chopped onion. 

This is also when you could add a little salt, but I'd advise against it as store-bought broth is loaded with salt. You could get creative and add taco seasoning or other herbs and spices.

Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover, simmer until tender.
