Chop the onion, garlic, and red bell pepper. Peel and dice the carrots and potato. Trim the green beans, dice the zucchini, and shred the cabbage.
In the same pot, add the chopped onion and garlic. Sauté until softened, about 3 minutes.

Stir in the diced tomatoes, chicken broth, paprika, ground caraway seeds, salt, black pepper, and the bay leaf.
Return the sausage to the pot and bring the mixture to a boil.
Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes.
Uncover the pot and add the green beans, zucchini, and cabbage. Simmer for another 15 minutes or until all the vegetables are tender.
Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed. Remove the bay leaf before serving.
