Instructions
Add lentils and beans to a large bowl and fill with abundant cool water. Soak for at the very least 2 hours, better overnight (10-12 hours).
Peel and finely chop onion and garlic. Peel carrots and dice. Wash celery and dice.
Add chopped onion and garlic and diced celery and carrots to the crockpot.
Drain and rinse soaked lentils and beans and then add to the crockpot.
Add thyme, chili powder, sea salt, pepper, and broth to the crockpot, give it all a quick stir, then place the lid on top.
Set crockpot to 4 hours on high or 8 hours on low. (For unsoaked legumes, use 5 hours on high and 10 hours on low).
30-45 minutes before cooking time is over, crisp up bacon in either a pan over medium heat or the oven at 400F for 20-25 minutes on a baking sheet.
Before serving, give it a taste to see if it needs more seasoning with sea salt and pepper.
To serve, add to a bowl, sprinkle crispy bacon, and finely chopped parsley on top and enjoy!
