In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until browned and no longer pink, about 5 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.
Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the pot. Sauté for 2-3 minutes, until the onion is translucent and fragrant.
Stir in the diced carrots, celery, and potato. Cook for another 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, to begin softening the vegetables.
Add the canned diced tomatoes (including their liquid), tomato paste, and beef broth. Stir to combine.
Mix in the dried oregano, thyme, paprika, bay leaves, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and simmer the soup for 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes and other vegetables are tender.
Add the frozen green beans and corn to the pot. Cook for an additional 5 minutes to heat the frozen vegetables through.
Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed. Remove the bay leaves before serving.
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired. Serve hot with crusty bread on the side.
