Rinse the 13-bean soup mix thoroughly and pick out any debris or stones. Place the beans in a large bowl, cover with plenty of water, and soak for 8 hours or overnight. Drain and set aside.
In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion, sliced carrots, and celery. SautΓ© for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are softened.
Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant.
Stir in the soaked 13-bean mix, crushed tomatoes, vegetable broth, and water. Add the bay leaf, dried thyme, oregano, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine.
Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let it simmer for 60-75 minutes, or until the beans are tender.
Remove the bay leaf from the soup and adjust seasonings as needed, adding more salt or pepper to taste.
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired. Serve hot.
