Rinse and drain the canned black beans and kidney beans.
Peel and finely chop the onion and garlic. Dice the carrots and celery into small pieces.
In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the onion, garlic, carrots, and celery for 4-5 minutes, or until softened and fragrant.
Transfer the sautéed vegetables to the crock pot.
Add the black beans, kidney beans, diced tomatoes (with their juice), and vegetable broth to the crock pot.
Season the soup with cumin, smoked paprika, dried oregano, salt, black pepper, and the bay leaf. Stir gently to combine.
Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours, until the vegetables are tender and the flavors are well combined.
Once cooked, remove the bay leaf. Stir in the freshly chopped parsley and lemon juice for a bright, fresh flavor.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed before serving.
Ladle the soup into bowls and serve warm. Optional: Pair with crusty bread for a complete meal.
