Winter's Night Beef Soup

This is a crock pot recipe from Fix It and Forget It. I had a meeting after school, so I needed dinner to be ready when I got home. To make my morning easier, I put everything together Sunday night in a Crock Pot bag and put it in the fridge. This morning, I dropped it all in the crock pot and was ready to go. This is a really simple soup - not too thick and very hearty on a cold Buffalo evening.
