Cook wheat in 3 cups of water for 1 hour until tender; add more water if necessary, drain. Rinse with cool water and drain thoroughly.

In the microwave on medium heat, cook onion, green and yellow pepper for 1 minute, or until desired softness.

In a 4-quart pot, combine remaining ingredients with microwaved vegetables. On stovetop, bring to a boil and simmer uncovered 1 hour or until desired consistency is reached, stirring occasionally.
