doctor it up a bit!
to make this stew AWESOME i did the following: i put everything except the cornstarch into a crockpot (i didn't use the cornstarch at all) and also added 1/4 cup salsa, 3 Tbsp lime juice, and 1/2 cup chopped green onions. i let it cook on low temp for several hours (i'm at high altitude - those under 3500 feet will need to cook it about 7-8 hours) and before serving, i pulled the chicken out and shredded it with a fork, and then put it back into the soup. it results in such a great-tasting, hearty-yet-light, soup that we fought over who got to eat the leftovers the next day!
