• 2 ribs celery

  (sliced)
• 1 lb ground beef

  (lean ground beef or ground chuck)
• 1 ½ teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon dried parsley

  (or 1 tablespoon fresh chopped parsley)
• ½ teaspoon paprika
• ½ teaspoon dried oregano
• 28 oz diced tomatoes

  (undrained)

Instructions

• 1 Bring a large stockpot or Dutch oven to medium-high heat with olive oil. Once
  the oil begins to shimmer, add the diced onion and celery. Saute for 4-5 minutes
  or until the onion is tender, translucent, and fragrant.
• 2 Add the ground beef and brown, stirring into the sauteed onion and celery. Cook
  for 6-8 minutes until completely browned, breaking apart the ground beef as it
  cooks.
• 3 Add the seasoning (including salt, pepper, diced tomatoes, parsley, paprika, and
  oregano) and stir into the ground beef. Then add the diced tomatoes and juice,
  as well as the tomato paste, and give the soup a quick stir before adding the
  beef broth.
• 4 Pour in the beef broth and add the cut baby potatoes. Stir to combine and bring
  to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes.
• 5 Add the frozen mixed vegetables, stir, cover, and continue to simmer an
  additional 10-15 minutes. Once the vegetables are all tender, remove from heat
  and serve.
