I love this soup because it’s such a hearty (and inexpensive) meal that lasts all week. Yes, you do need to remember to soak the beans in water ahead of time. But you can just use the same pot you’re going to use to cook. Soaking the beans rinses away those pesky indigestible sugars that can cause gas.
