For best results, soak the dry beans in cold water overnight before cooking. This will reduce the cooking time and improve the texture of the beans. Be sure to stir the soup frequently, especially after adding the cheese, to prevent sticking and scorching. For a richer flavor, consider using smoked ham or adding a ham hock to the soup while it simmers. Adjust the amount of water to achieve your desired soup consistency. If the soup becomes too thick, add more water. If it's too thin, simmer uncovered to allow some of the liquid to evaporate. Consider adding a bay leaf or some thyme sprigs while simmering for extra flavor.
