For a richer flavor, consider using smoked bacon. Adjust the amount of milk to reach your desired consistency. If you don't have time to soak the beans overnight, use the quick-soak method: Place the beans in a large pot, cover with water, bring to a boil, and boil for 2 minutes. Remove from heat, cover, and let stand for 1 hour. Drain and rinse before using. Garnish with fresh parsley or a swirl of cream before serving.
