Lasagna Soup {recipe}

Last Wednesday I perfected my Lasagna Soup recipe!  It's awesome when it's cold out, and your craving lasagna but don't want something that heavy.  Plus it's full of yummy vegetables: carrots, onions, spinach, tomatoes & mushrooms.  Everyone in my family loved it with the exception of Payton and Rylan they picked out the mushrooms... {weird kids!}

1 lb lean ground beef

1- 1/2 cups yellow onions, chopped

1-1/2 cups carrots, chopped
