Beans beans beans

I am terrible at buying in dried beans and never using them (too much pfaff to soak them overnight) but I saw a bean and pasta soup recipe that looked tasty so last night I put some aduki beans into soak and the soup is now cooking on the hob. I have to keep remembering to go stir it. I just hope O eats it. I have sold him to it as a pasta stew rather than a soup - not sure if that will work when he actually sees it!
