Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium onion (chopped)
- 3 sticks celery (chopped)

Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a soup pot over medium-high heat. Sauté chopped onion and celery for 5-7 minutes until softened. Add minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds.
- Stir in the lean ground beef, breaking it apart, and cook until browned, about 8 minutes.
- Sprinkle the flour into the pot and stir for 1-2 minutes until combined. Mix in the tomato paste.
