- Cut 8 deep slits in the meat and insert a quarter-clove of garlic in each slit. In a large soup pot or Dutch oven, heat the oil over high heat.
- Brown the roast for 5 minutes or until golden. Add the onion, thyme sprig and chicken stock. Bring to a boil and cover.
- Reduce heat to low. Simmer for 2 hours or until the meat breaks apart with a fork. Remove the thyme and the onion. Break the meat into large chunks.
- Add the paprika, tomato paste and crushed garlic to the pot. Stir to combine. Add the carrots, cabbage, green beans, white beans and red pepper. Bring to a boil.
- Cover and simmer for 20 minutes, or until the vegetables are cooked. Add the thyme leaves and salt and pepper to taste.
