Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Season the beef stew meat with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, then brown it in batches in the skillet. Transfer the browned beef to the crock pot.
Wipe the skillet clean with a paper towel, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and sauté the chopped onion until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds. Sprinkle the flour over the onion and garlic mixture, stir well, and cook for another minute. Transfer this mixture to the crock pot.
Chop the mushrooms, carrots, and celery into bite-sized pieces and add them to the crock pot.
Pour in the beef broth and stir in the soy sauce, ensuring all ingredients are evenly combined.
Add the thyme sprigs and bay leaves to the crock pot.
Cover and cook on low for 7 hours or on high for 4 hours, until the beef is tender and the vegetables are fully cooked.
Remove the thyme sprigs and bay leaves from the soup and discard them.
Taste the soup and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Garnish each serving with freshly chopped parsley and serve hot with crusty bread or crackers, if desired.
