Cover and continue cooking until vegetables are tender, stirring occasionally, about 15 minutes. Add vegetable mixture to beans. Stir in orange peel, pepper and 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes if desired. Place rice in bowls. Spoon soup over. Top each with dollop of sour cream or yogurt. Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve.
