Place them in a small bag and label them so you don't forget what it's for. Place the bag in the jar on top of your
beans. Store until you are ready to cook soup.
When you are ready to make your soup:
Place the jar of beans into about 4 cups of water in the morning and let them soak all day.
Drain off any excess water and place the beans in a large stockpot.
Add in the spice packet and 1 pint of stewed tomatoes or one large can from the store if you don't have your own). Also pour in 4 cups of water and 2 cups of chicken broth. Turn on a low to medium heat and let the soup simmer until beans are cooked through (about an hour or 2) you may need to add a bit more water if your soup is getting too thick as the beans soak up more water.
