Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 medium carrots, peeled and diced
• 2 celery stalks, diced
• 1 medium russet potato, peeled and diced
• 1 14-ounce can diced tomatoes (canned, including juice)
• 4 cups beef broth
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 cup frozen peas
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up with a wooden spoon as it cooks. Drain off excess grease if necessary.

Step 3

Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the pot, cooking until the onion becomes translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 4

Stir in the diced carrots, celery, and potato, cooking for another 2-3 minutes to slightly soften the vegetables.

Step 5

Add the canned diced tomatoes (including the juice), beef broth, and tomato paste. Stir well to combine.

Step 6

Season with the oregano, basil, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil.

Step 7

Reduce the heat to low and simmer, covered, for about 25 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

Step 8

Stir in the frozen peas and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until heated through.

Step 9

Taste and adjust the seasoning, adding additional salt or pepper if needed.

Step 10

Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired. Enjoy with crusty bread or crackers for a complete meal.
