When I make soup, I soak them overnight with some baking soda. Then, when boiling down a broth, I steam the beans over it. Then add it into the soup and boil for 30 mins or so. Soft beans without mushy or very much splitting.
soaking and using beans - did I mess up?

Well, they did actually cook down enough by 7pm to eat. DH didn't even complain that they weren't soft enough. (He really likes "mushy" food.) So I guess I worried for nothing. I think next time, I will cook them separately for an hour before I add them to the chili.
