Directions
Sort the beans to remove any debris; rinse and drain.

Bring to a boil over high heat; reduce heat, cover, and simmer until beans are tender to bite, about 1 1/2 hours.
With a knife, cut through tomatoes, still in can, to make small pieces; add to soup along with corn and pepper to taste.
Cover and simmer about 30 minutes longer to blend flavors.
With spoon or potato masher, mash some of the beans to thicken soup slightly.
If made ahead, let cool, cover, and chill up to 2 days; reheat to continue.
