    HI, EVERYONE! I just wanted to take a moment to chime in because I'm seeing a lot of comments about the beans not being soft enough after 40 mins on man/high + NPR. I can't be certain on variance between models because I only own the DUO 6qt and 3qt, but I've been mulling around one particular thought. Assuming that your bean soup package isn't expired (come on! don't tell me you haven't forgotten that stash in the pantry still in the box from your last move!), double check the settings on your pot. When you first pull yours out of the box, they may have defaults set to the lows mediums or normal. Also, the pot will retain the most recent setting you used on any of the presets. So when you go to set your pot for the correct cook settings for these bean soups, make sure they are actually set to "HIGH" instead of "LESS" or "NORMAL." Let me know if any of you have found a difference in results after checking this setting. And as always, thanks for watching!!! 💖🐝

    Followed instructions except pressure cooked an hour and beans were still tough. Adding more time. Might want to add tomatoes after cooking beans or leave out, read that acids will make beans tough.

    I made this and it's Fabulous!!! (a few personal changes) I didn't use carrots or celery, used an extra packet of ham seasoning. Two cans of smoked ham and a pound smoked pork. It's awesome… Thank you!!!

    I smoke my pork shoulder all day. Next day pick through it with gloves on. Add onions, mushrooms, celery, carrots, bay, chicken broth, 1/4 lime. Throw it in crock pot while my beans and lentils are soaking. 4 hrs, add beans. Cook on low 8 hours or more.
    Perfect soup. Making some now.
