How long do freakin dried black beans take to get tender???
I followed the packaging that I *thought* said bring to a boil for 2 minutes in 3-4 cups of water for a half a big, then let sit for an hour, then drain.
I had DH drain while I was at the gym and now I've been simmering them with water and a can of diced tomatoes and spices to make black bean soup and they still seem VERY hard!! And I wanna go to bed!

It takes a while. When I used to cook them from scratch, I always soaked them overnight before even cooking them.
