Don’t overthink it. Pick one method. Mash, blend, or slurry. Taste as you go. You are the boss of your beans.
If it’s still thin, try a second method. Combine a mash AND a cornstarch slurry. No soup police will arrest you.
So go make soup. Thick, glorious, spoon-standing-up soup. And remember: watery soup is a mistake you only make once. Now you know better.
Your beans deserve greatness. Give it to them.
