Ingredients

Olive oil (to coat the pan)
1 pound ground beef
1 medium yellow onion (chopped)
3 medium carrots (sliced)
2 stalks celery (chopped)
4 cloves garlic (minced)
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 ½ teaspoons Kosher salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
5 cups beef broth (low sodium is preferred)
1 14-½ ounce can diced tomatoes (undrained)
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
2 large potatoes (such as russets, cubed)

Instructions

Dutch Oven Instructions

Add the olive oil to a large Dutch oven set over medium-high heat. Add the beef, breaking it into large chunks and spreading it evenly across the pan. Brown, undisturbed, for 2-3 minutes. Once the bottom side has some color, flip and continue to cook for another 3-4 minutes, or until no pink remains.
Add the onion, celery, and carrots to the pan and cook for 4-5 minutes, or until beginning to soften. Stir in the garlic and saute for 30 seconds, until fragrant. If there is a lot of excess grease in the pan, drain it off before continuing.
Season the vegetables with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning, then stir in tomato paste and cook for 30 seconds. Add the beef broth, tomatoes, Worcestershire sauce, and potatoes, stirring well.
Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium, cover the pot, and cook for 10-15 minutes, or until potatoes are tender.

Alternate Slow Cooker Instructions

Add the olive oil to a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium high heat. Cook the beef until browned on all sides, then add the onion. Saute 3-4 minutes, until softened. Drain excess grease, then season the beef mixture lightly with Kosher salt and pepper.
Add the beef mixture to a crock pot along with the remaining ingredients.
Cook on high for 4 hours or low for 8 hours.

Notes

Feel free to add different vegetables--frozen corn, peas, and/or green beans can all work well here. Add them for the last 3 minutes of boiling time.
