Italian Cheese Chowder

1 (16 oz) can stewed tomatoes, undrained
1 (15 oz) can garbonzo beans (chick peas), drained
1/2 lb zucchini, sliced
2 onions, chopped
1 1/2 cups water
1/4 cup butter or margarine
2 tsp salt
2 tsp instant minced garlic
1 tsp dried basil
1/4 tsp freshly ground pepper
1 bay leaf
1 cup (4 oz) grated Monterey Jack cheese
1 cups (4 oz) grated Romano cheese (or Parmesan)
1 cup heavy whipping cream

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Combine the first eleven ingredients in a four-quart baking dish. Cover tightly and bake one hour, stirring once or twice. Blend in remaining ingredients. Cover and bake until cheese melts, about 10 minutes. Serve immediately. (This is AMAZING!)
