Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
Add the sliced carrots, red bell pepper, and green bell pepper to the pot. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables start to soften.
Add the cubed potatoes, tomato paste, sweet paprika, ground caraway seeds, dried thyme, and bay leaves. Stir well to ensure the spices coat the vegetables evenly.
Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let simmer for 30 minutes.
Add the halved cherry tomatoes and shredded cabbage to the pot. Continue to simmer for another 15 minutes until all the vegetables are tender.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Remove bay leaves before serving.
Garnish each serving with freshly chopped parsley and serve hot.
