1 cup onion finely chopped
1 cup celery finely chopped
1/2 tablespoon garlic finely minced
1 cup carrot cut in small coins
2 cups yukon gold potatoes cut into ½ inch cubes
1 cup yukon gold potatoes cut in half so that you can remove them at the end (about 1 large potato)
¼ cup Frank’s Red Hot
5 cups no/low salt chicken broth
1/2 cup almond milk or milk/ other dairy free milk

Layer raw chicken, cooked vegetables and potatoes in the crockpot. Add broth and buffalo sauce. Cover + set to low for 6 hours.
Once cooked, remove the large potato pieces + chicken breasts.
Place large potato halves, milk + 1/2 cup of broth *from the pot* (a few ladels full!) into a blender until smooth. Add back into the pot.
