Instructions
Using a 7-quart crockpot or larger, add all the ingredients listed, except the parsley, into the slow cooker. Stir to combine.
Cover and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours, or high for 4 to 6 hours, until beans are tender. I find the beans get much more flavorful and tender with the longer and slower cook time!
When ready to serve, add the fresh parsley and stir. Serve warm with cornbread, crusty bread, or your favorite crackers on the side.

Notes
How To Soak Beans: Rinse and sort beans to remove debris. For best results, soak overnight in cold water in the fridge. For a quick soak, boil beans in 10 cups of water for 2 minutes, cover, and let sit 1 hour. Drain and rinse soaked beans before cooking.Store: Store leftovers in an airtight storage container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.Reheat: For larger portions, reheat on the stovetop or in the crockpot. For individual portions, reheat in the microwave.Freeze: Transfer cooled soup to an airtight freezer-safe storage container. Freeze for up to 3 months. For best results, thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.
