Rinse the 13-bean soup mix thoroughly in cold water and discard any debris or damaged beans.
Place the beans in a large bowl, cover with water, and soak overnight (at least 8 hours). Drain and rinse before cooking.
In a skillet over medium heat, brown the smoked sausage for 3-4 minutes, then slice it into bite-sized rounds.
Transfer the soaked beans, browned sausage, onions, carrots, celery, and garlic to the crock pot.
Pour in the water and chicken broth, ensuring all the ingredients are submerged.
Add the crushed tomatoes, bay leaf, paprika, cumin, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Stir gently to combine.
Cover the crock pot with the lid and set it to cook on LOW for 8-10 hours or HIGH for 4-5 hours, until the beans are tender.
Once cooked, taste the soup and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Remove the bay leaf and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Serve hot with crusty bread or a side salad for a complete meal.
