[for vegetarian version, season pinto beans and black beans together in a small bowl with the mixed seasonings, set aside, and continue with recipe, but add the kidney beans with these beans when you would add the chicken]Heat other tbsp of olive oil in a large soup pot. Saute onion and bay leaf for 3-4 minutes, until it begins to brown. Add in garlic and saute another minute.
