Method
 

Cooking Steps
  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large soup pot over medium-high heat. Add 1 chopped onion and 2 diced celery stalks, stirring frequently for about 5-7 minutes until softened.
  2. Incorporate 3 cloves of minced garlic, stirring for about 30 seconds until the aroma fills your kitchen.
  3. Add 1 pound of lean ground beef, breaking it up as it cooks. Brown the beef for about 8 minutes until fully cooked.
  4. Sprinkle in 2 tablespoons of flour, stirring for 1-2 minutes to coat the meat evenly.
  5. Stir in 2 tablespoons of tomato paste, then gradually add 4 cups of beef broth and 2 tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce, stirring to combine. Bring to a gentle boil.
  6. Once boiling, add in 2 diced russet potatoes, 2 diced carrots, and preferred seasonings. Reduce heat to low and allow to simmer for at least 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  7. Stir in 1 cup of frozen peas, adjusting salt and pepper to taste, and simmer for another 5 minutes until peas are heated through.
  8. Ladle into bowls and garnish as desired. Enjoy warm, perhaps with some crusty bread or served over rice.
