Soupy Sundays- Beef and Broccoli Soup

It's been a while, so I thought I would titillate you with some soup photos again. This was such an easy crockpot soup recipe. I just love winter crockpot soup, it just lets you get along in your day.

It's called broccoli soup, but there are tons of vegetables in there.
