In large, heavy-bottomed pot, heat oil. Add onions and sauté with garlic, parsley, oregano, basil, red pepper. Sauté until tender 5 to 10 minutes. Add cumin, chili powder, cayenne pepper, chili sauce and beans. Heat through.
While bean mixture cooks, put mixed vegetables in medium size pot. Add enough water to cover vegetables. Bring to simmer over medium heat until vegetables are almost tender, 10 to 15 minutes, adding vegetables with longest cooking times first.
Add the vegetable mixture to the bean mixture and bring to boil. Reduce heat and simmer 15 minutes.
