Mom's Ground Beef and Vegetable Soup image

From "One Pot Meals for People with Diabetes" This good, family-pleasing soup can be started in the a.m. and is ready to serve when you return home in the p.m. Since the ground beef and carrots must be browned before being added to the slow cooker, you may want to prepare them the night before, then refrigerate them until assembling all the ingredients the next morning.
