Heat the oil in a large pot (like a Dutch Oven) until hot. Add the onion. Cook for about 5 minutes until the onion is transparent.
Add the peppers, cover and cook for about 5 minutes.
Add the chilis, garlic, cumin seeds and tomatoes. Stir.
Add the beans, water, salt and pepper, and bring it to a boil.
Cover, reduce the heat and simmer until the mixture is heated through, about 15 minutes. If you would like the soup a little thicker, mash a few of the beans or use an immersion blender to smoosh some of the beans.
