Brown the beef with onion and celery in a large stock pot over medium heat. Drain well. Add peppers, garlic, and tomatoes, and return to heat for five minutes to let flavors develop. Add stock, tomato paste, thyme, pepper, soy sauce, and brown sugar and bring soup to a simmer. When soup comes to a simmer, add the rice, cover, and cook until rice is done (about 20 minutes).
