Actually, one of my favorite meals is pinto bean soup, sometimes pintos & white beans cooked together. I'm southern, what can I say?
I can't eat this when I'm in the middle of a flare up, or it will hurt me a little. However, if I'm stable, the way I cook them, they don't bother me.
First, as with all things southern, you gotta cook them to death...this makes pureeing them unnecessary. LOL You have to either soak the beans overnight, then rinse & replace the water the next day & cook, or as I often do, rinse the beans well, bring to a boil for 2 minutes, then remove from heat, cover & let sit for an hour. Then you dump that water, rinse the beans again, and cook in fresh water for at least 3 hours.
Now, HERE'S the secret to making them less gassy. After they've been cooking a good hour or so, when they start getting a little tender & they're just simmering or so...take one-two tablespoons of baking soda & sprinkle into the soup. (You need to be cooking in a big pot, cause this will make the soup bubble up BIG time...if it starts to overflow the pot, remove from heat for a minute.) Basically, what you're seeing is the gas disappear. Remember, baking soda is an old fashioned remedy for gas & heartburn. I start with one tablespoon, stir it up well until it stops bubbling, then I'll sprinkle a little more in...if it bubbles up alot again, I know I need more. This really does work!!
