Heat a large soup pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the vegetable oil or butter.
Add the ground beef to the pot, cooking and breaking it up with a spoon until browned and fully cooked. Drain off any excess fat.
Stir in diced onion, celery, and carrots. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables soften.
Sprinkle the flour over the cooked meat and vegetables. Stir well to create a roux, cooking for 2-3 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
Gradually stir in the beef broth, ensuring there are no lumps.
Add diced tomatoes, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper to the pot. Stir to combine.
Bring the mixture to a simmer. Add diced potatoes and frozen mixed vegetables.
Cover the pot and let the soup simmer gently for 30-40 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and flavors have melded together.
Taste the soup and adjust seasoning if needed. Add more salt or pepper to preference.
Serve hot with crusty bread or crackers for a comforting meal.
