*Add 1 pound dry soybeans to 6 to 8 cups boiling water; boil 5 minutes.

Cover pot, remove from heat and let stand 1 hour. Drain; add 6 cups water.

Do not add salt at this point or it will delay the softening of the beans.

pot, about 3 hours or until beans are tender. Makes 4 to 6 cups cooked

beans.
