You can reduce the soaking time with the quick-soak method. You cover the beans with water, bring to a boil over high heat, and let them boil for 1 minute. Then remove the beans from the heat and cover with a lid. Let them soak in the warm water for 1 hour, and then cook as usual. You can speed up the cooking time of beans with a pressure cooker.
