Add the diced potatoes to the pot followed by the vegetable broth, tomato paste, bay leaf, dried thyme, and paprika. Stir well to combine.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover the pot. Let it simmer for about 30 minutes, or until the potatoes and carrots are tender.
Remove the bay leaf and discard.
