Cooking the beans
Place the beans in a pot; I generally use an Instant pot, but it can be done in a regular pot.
Cover the beans with Chicken broth (about 4 cups). If no broth is available, cover with water and add two TBS of chicken bouillon.
In an Instant Pot, cook on high pressure for 17 minutes and use the natural release method.
In a regular pot, bring to a boil, and lower the flame to cook until tender over medium low heat.
