Soak the dry beans in boiled water overnight or 8 hours minimum, then drain and rinse. In a pot, combine beans with 1/2 the diced pepper, bay leaf, and broth (or water) and bring to a boil, then simmer on low to medium heat, covered.

In a separate sauce pan, heat oil on medium heat and sauté onions, garlic, and 1/2 the green pepper. When the onion is translucent, add the canned black beans and mash with a fork until the beans are broken up. Combine two pots then add salt to taste. Top with corn and the remaining red and green pepper. Enjoy!
