Cover the crock pot with the lid and set it to cook on LOW for 4 hours or on HIGH for 2 hours, stirring occasionally if possible.
Once the vegetables are tender and infused with flavor, turn off the crock pot.
Tear the fresh basil leaves into small pieces and scatter them over the vegetables for a final burst of freshness.
