Heat the olive oil in a large soup pot over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until softened and translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic, carrots, and celery. Cook for another 4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the diced potatoes, canned diced tomatoes (with their juice), and vegetable broth to the pot. Stir to combine.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Add the bay leaf, dried thyme, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Cover the pot and simmer for 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and cooked through.
Stir in the drained and rinsed white beans and cook for an additional 5 minutes to heat through.
Remove the bay leaf from the soup and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired. Serve warm.
