In a large Dutch Oven, add oil,meat,salt,pepper,and paprika,cook on very low heat for about 8 minutes,stirring occasionally,be sure not to scorch the paprika.Add tomato sauce,tomatoes,potatoes,carrots,onion,garlic,bay leaves,basil,and water.Bring to a slow boil,reduce to a simmer,simmer until carrots and potatoes are almost tender,about 2 to 4 hours,add corn and peas,bring back to a simmer. Add dumplings at this point.
