Should you rinse black beans for soup?

You'll need about 3 15-ounce cans of black beans. Do not rinse, just add to the pot. You will only need about 4 cups of broth as opposed to the 8 this originally calls for. If the soup ends up too thick you can always add a little more.

Do you have to rinse and drain black beans?

Although canned black beans are ready to eat, they should be drained and rinsed first \u2014 to wash off some of the slippery slime common to all beans and to get rid of excess sodium (even in the reduced-sodium varieties). Don't just swirl them in the can with some water.

Do you cook bean soup covered or uncovered?

TIP: DO NOT salt the water, as this can cause the beans to toughen. Skim off any scum that comes to the surface, and lower the heat to a simmer. Continue to cook uncovered until the beans are tender and add more water when needed to keep the beans covered. When cooking beans, always keep them at a simmer.

How do you make black bean soup from raw beans?

Two black bean cans of water into the pot (aka about 2 cups) and light boil or heavy simmer (tomato/tomahto) for a while and taste as it goes. Beans are already cooked so no \u201cbroth\u201d really being made here \u2013 simmered maybe 30 minutes but tasted ready to go!
