1. Rinse, sort and soak beans overnight. Drain and empty them into a large pot; add boiling water, garlic and onion salts, thyme and marjoram. Cover and simmer until beans are tender, about 3 hours. (Don't let beans boil dry; add hot water as needed.)

2. Spoon out 3 cups of cooked beans to use another day in another way. Mash remaining beans with their liquid. Add remaining ingredients. Heat 10 minutes to blend flavors.
