A hearty soup loaded with flavorful lean ground beef, nutritious vegetables, and it's full of rich, satisfying flavor. It's easy to throw together and a perfectly comforting, homestyle soup! Makes about 10.5 cups.
Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Crumble in beef, then cook and break up beef until no longer pink, about 6 - 7 minutes. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels, leave 1 Tbsp fat in pot drain of excess.
Add onion, carrots, and celery and saute 5 minutes. Add garlic and saute 1 minute longer.
Pour in beef broth, tomatoes, tomato sauce, Worcestershire, browned beef, potatoes, oregano and thyme. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Bring mixture to a light boil, cover then reduce heat to low and let simmer, until potatoes are tender, about 25 - 35 minutes.
Stir in peas and let heat through. Stir in parsley and serve warm.
