Crock Veggie Soup (Oamc)

This came in an email. One of LeeAnn, the Dinner Diva's, wonderful, delicious recipes. I love this soup. It is easy to make (crock pot). This is also pretty cheap to make. This can easily be put together and frozen by placing the first 10 ingredients in a freezer bag, and putting the pasta and cheese in seperate freezer bags and freezing the bags together until ready to cook. Just thaw before cooking.
