Add a teaspoon of salt, and continue to simmer until the beans are tender but not mushy, about 30 minutes longer. Taste the broth and add more salt as desired, then remove from the heat and let sit for at least 10 minutes (so the beans can absorb more salt from the broth).\r\n          <\/li>\n                            <li class=\"instruction \" itemprop=\"recipeInstructions\">\n          Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy nonstick skillet over medium heat and add the remaining onion. Cook, stirring often, until tender but not colored, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic, Swiss chard and thyme leaves and continue to cook, stirring, until the garlic is fragrant and the chard has wilted slightly, about 1 or 2 minutes. Stir into the beans and bring back to a simmer and simmer 10 minutes.
