Crockpot Lasagna Soup

I know it's been a LOOONG time since I've done a crockpot recipe.  Sorry about that.  Here is one I made about a month ago and again the other day. It was tasty, easy and makes a lot.  And you don't have to brown your ground beef or cook the noodles before putting it in the crockpot.
