Ingredients

3 cups chopped onion, divided
3 cups chopped red bell pepper, divided
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro stems
1 1/2 tablespoons dried oregano
6 garlic cloves
3 dried ancho chile peppers, stemmed, seeded, and finely chopped
1/4 cup olive oil
1 tablespoon ground cumin
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 3/4 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 bay leaf
4 1/2 cups organic vegetable broth
1 (16-ounce) package dried white beans
1 (26.46-ounce) container unsalted tomato puree
1 (12-ounce) bottle stout beer (such as Guinness)
4 cups chopped zucchini (about 2 large)
1 (15-ounce) can unsalted fire-roasted diced tomatoes, undrained
