In a 4-quart saucepan simmer beans, yellow onion, bay leaf, and thyme in
water to cover by 3 inches, partially covered with lid, until beans are
tender, about 50 minutes. Season beans with salt and cool completely in
cooking liquid. Drain beans in a colander and discard yellow onion, bay
leaf, and thyme. Beans may be cooked 1 day ahead and chilled, covered.

Finely chop enough of tomatoes to measure 1 1/2 cups and reserve. In a
blender puree remaining tomatoes, half of bell peppers, and half of onion
until smooth and in a bowl stir together puree, beans, reserved tomatoes,
remaining bell peppers and red onion, jalapeno, vinegar, oil, and salt to
taste. Chill soup, covered at least until cold, about 6 hours, and up to 1
day. Before serving, stir in coriander and season with salt and pepper if
necessary.
