Soak the beans overnight in water. Rinse in several changes of cold water; drain and place in a large heavy pot with fresh cold water to cover beans. Add celery tops, bay leaves, and parsley springs. Simmer for 30 minutes over medium heat. Meanwhile, in a large pot, brown the bacon over medium heat to render the fat. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and reserve. Add one tablespoon of olive oil to the pot. Brown the chicken and pork each in small batches. Remove to a bowl with a slotted spoon and set aside. Add remaining tablespoon of oil to the pot; with the onion, celery and carrots over medium-low heat, about 8 - 10 minutes. Return meats and bacon to pot, along with the beans. (Discard celery tops.) Add remaining ingredients through and including cracked black pepper; simmer gently for 1 hour, stirring occasionally. Stir in the kielbasa; simmer for 30 minutes longer, stirring once or twice. Stir in 1/4 cup of the chopped parsley and season with salt. Serve immediately, garnished with the remaining parsley.
