Add another tablespoon of oil, and cook the bell peppers until just tender, 2-3 minutes. Set aside. Add a little more oil, and cook the onion until just tender, scraping up the bits of brown flavor from the meat. Add the garlic, and cook for about 30 seconds, reduce heat. Add the tomato paste and paprika, and cook for 1-2 minutes. (If you prefer a thicker soup, add about 2 Tablespoons of flour and cook with the onion). Add the beef, with the juices back to the vegetables, then add the beef broth. Add the canned tomatoes, caraway seeds, bay leaves. If desired, add the tied fresh thyme. Bring to a simmer and let cook for at least an hour, or two. Remove the thyme and bay leaves. Taste and adjust with more salt, to your liking. If the soup still isn't thick enough for your liking, start with 2 Tablespoons flour, and whisk in 1/4 cup water and whisk vigorously until smooth and lump-free.
