Good hearty soup for those cold and rainy days, and so easy to make, just pitch it all in the crock pot! I made the mistake of putting the noodles in and letting it go too long, and they totally dissolved. It still tasted fine, it was just thicker. Make sure you put them in no more than an hour before you're ready to serve. I also use whatever meat is cheap, doesn't have to be sirloin because it's gonna cook all day.
