Instructions

In a large pot over medium heat, warm the oil. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spatula.
In the same pot, toss in the onions, carrots, and celery. Cook until the onions become translucent and the veggies soften a bit.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook just until fragrant—about a minute.
Add in the diced tomatoes, beef broth, diced potatoes, Worcestershire sauce, and Italian seasoning. Season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil.
Reduce heat, cover, and let simmer for about 25-30 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.
Stir in the green peas and cook for an additional 5 minutes. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.
Ladle the soup into bowls, sprinkle with some freshly chopped parsley, and serve with a side of crusty bread.

Notes

Meat Options: While I used ground beef, feel free to substitute it with ground turkey or chicken for a leaner option.
Vegetable Variations: You can easily add or substitute vegetables based on what you have on hand. Consider adding green beans, corn, or bell peppers for extra nutrition and flavor.
Broth Adjustments: For a richer soup, use beef broth, or for a lighter version, chicken or vegetable broth works well. Adjust the amount of broth to your preference for soup thickness.
Seasoning Tips: Don't forget to taste and adjust the seasoning towards the end of cooking. Sometimes a little extra pinch of salt, pepper, or Italian seasoning can make all the difference.
