Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it into small pieces, until browned. This should take about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat and set the beef aside.
While the beef cooks, prepare your vegetables. Remove the core from the cabbage and chop it into bite-sized pieces. Dice the onion, peel and slice the carrots, and mince the garlic.
In the crock pot, combine the browned ground beef, chopped cabbage, diced onion, sliced carrots, and minced garlic.
Add the canned diced tomatoes (with their juice), beef broth, and tomato paste to the crock pot. Stir to combine.
Season with paprika, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Stir again to distribute the seasonings evenly.
Set your crock pot to low heat and cook for 6 hours, or until the vegetables are tender and the flavors have melded together.
Once the soup is cooked, taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. Serve hot with crusty bread or crackers for a complete meal.
