Ground Beef and Veggie Soup/Crock Pot

Hubby loves vegetable beef soup so I went searching for a recipe. After finding a couple that I liked I experimented and came up with this. Serve with homemade bread and it is a filling meal on a cold winter night. Cook time does not reflect crock pot cooking time.
