Add tomatoes, breaking up with spoon. Add chickpeas, kidney beans, baked beans, zucchini and green pepper; bring to boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 45 minutes.
Uncover and simmer, stirring often, until slightly thickened, 15 minutes. Discard bay leaf. (Make-ahead: Let cool for 30 minutes. Refrigerate in airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 1 month.)
