Crock-pot Hamburger Soup On a Cold Day

There's nothing better than soup on a cold day, right? And this Hamburger soup fits the bill. It's slow cooked in the Crock-pot for 7-8 hours, it's simple and you probably have all the ingredients on hand.  

Serve with crackers or a sliced baguette and enjoy!
