In a 6-quart crock pot, add the soaked and drained beans, diced onion, carrots, celery, minced garlic, and the can of diced tomatoes with its juice.
Pour in the vegetable broth and stir to combine. Add the bay leaf, smoked paprika, cumin, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper.
Cover the crock pot with a lid and set it to cook on low for 8 hours or on high for 4-5 hours. Stir occasionally, if possible.
Remove the bay leaf and discard it before serving. Taste and adjust seasonings, if necessary.
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve hot with crusty bread or a side of your choice.
