Today I made a bean soup with about five different beans,paprika,cumin,garlic,parsley,onion,diced tomato and carrots. Also added some veggie bouillion. I had to cook the beans for quite a while to tender them up. Turned out to be good though.

That is wonderful! I imagine with the addition of th cumin it tasted a bit like chili too! I love chili, I use alot of cumin in mine. I love 5 bean soup! I love beans, have to add lots of boiling water to them as they cook so they do not dry out sometimes! As you pointed out sometimes they take a long time to cook until they get tender! I use a pressure cooker also it's so much quicker, but I am just careful not to overfill it as it will blow the safety valve if too full!
