Set out navy beans overnight to help reduce oligosaccharides that cause flatulence.

Inspect the beans and remove any that look bad or damaged.

Place the cleaned beans in a pot on high heat and bring to a boil, waiting about five minutes until bubbling occurs.

While waiting for the beans to boil, chop the onion, carrots, celery, and garlic.

Once the beans are boiling, skim off the foam that forms on top and discard it.

Let the beans boil for about five minutes, then transfer them to a crock pot.

Leave about 1-2 cups of boiled beans in the pot for other recipes, such as smoothies or milkshakes.

Add four tablespoons of butter to the crock pot with the beans.

Season the beans in the crock pot with seasoned salt, black pepper, turmeric, cayenne pepper, and salt to taste.

Set the crock pot on high for four hours to cook the soup.
