Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the ground beef to the pot and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.
Dice the onion and mince the garlic. Add them to the pot, cooking for 2-3 minutes or until fragrant.
Chop the bell peppers into small pieces and stir them into the pot. Cook for another 4-5 minutes until slightly softened.
Stir in the diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, and beef broth.
Rinse the white rice under cold water, then add it to the soup.
Add the dried oregano, dried basil, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine.
Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for 20-25 minutes or until the rice is tender.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Ladle into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
