When the beans are almost done, we add salt, and sugar, and continue simmering until the bean soup consistency changes from thin brown water to a slightly thicker consistency (thanks to the sugar). When my family cooks pinto, great northern, October, yellow eye, or navy beans, we do not add any other ingredients---we want our beans plain with slightly thickened soup, a big onion, and cornbread or biscuits. Beans are a big part of our diet.
We cooked beans/peas like this also. Just onion and cornbread. 2 days later we added cooked onion and cubed potatoes (and any other veggies you like) and made bean soup for another meal.

Sometimes we would get fancy and have some coleslaw on the side ...lol. This way of cooking just brings out the flavor of the beans. We had beans a lot and I still make them a huge part of my diet.
