Loaded Potato Soup (Gluten Free and Dairy Free) (Edit recipe)

Crock pot instructions

1. Heat oil in a skillet and saute onion and garlic until tender. Stir frequently making sure the garlic doesn't burn. Remove from heat.
2. Add potatoes, carrots, celery, and cauliflower to the crockpot. Cover with broth, then stir in the onion mixture, salt, pepper and basil.
3. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or high 3-4 hours.
4. Remove lid and blend the soup with an immersion blender(or potato masher)until desired consistancy. The potatoes and cauliflower will thicken the soup naturally.
