  saucepan and saute onions, garlic, green peppers, and celery. Add the bay
  leaves, thyme, cumin, paprika, tomatoes, vinegar, and some bean broth.
  Simmer vegetables until they are tender. 3. Shortly before serving, add the

  This recipe will work for anyone interested in Vegetarian ideas, but
  definitely NOT for those who do NOT want beans in their diet.
