In pot over high heat combine first 4 ingredients; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low simmer until peppers are soft, 18 minutes. Remove from heat. Cool 5 minutes.
Puree broth mixture until smooth. Add enough water to broth mixture to make 2 cups; set aside.
Wipe pot dry. Add oil; heat over medium-high heat. Add onion, bell pepper and garlic; cook until softened, 5 minutes.
Add rice; cook, stirring frequently, until rice turns opaque, 5 minutes.
Add broth mixture and salt. Cover, increase heat to high and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low; simmer until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, 25 minutes. Remove from heat.
Meanwhile, position oven rack about 4-inches from heat. Preheat broiler.

Place zucchini, cut side down on foil. Broil until softened and lightly charred, 5 minutes per side.
