Tried making 15 bean soup with the seasoning packet and the beans came out like tiny rocks

So I grabbed a $1.50 bag of those dried 15 bean soups at Kroger, followed the bag directions, and tossed in the flavor packet right at the start like a genius. Turns out that salty packet stops the beans from softening at all, so after 2 hours I had a pot of salty gravel with some sad carrots floating in it. Does anyone know if I can still save this batch or do I just toss the whole thing and start over?
