Slow Cooker Shredded Chicken Soup

I just ate this after church and Mmmmm-mmmm-yumm was it good. My favorite part is that it was easy on top of it. I started out following a recipe but made so many changes that it made something else: soup (of course). It turned out great, though, so I thought I'd share, especially since it's winter and we could all use some warming up.

Ingredients
1 lb. chicken tenderloins
1 small onion, chopped
1 small bag baby carrots, halved
1 large potato, diced
2 chicken bullion cubes
3 cups water
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream (or milk if you're being good...I was naughty today :)
1 tsp dry basil
1/2 tsp pepper
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp garlic salt
cornstarch (to thicken)

Directions
1. Add all ingredients into a slow cooker except for whipping cream and cornstarch. Add water and veggies first and place chicken on top, dunking just beneath water's surface. Cook covered on low for 6-7 hours.
2. Take out chicken and shred. Put cornstarch in a cup and add some water until it is smooth. Add to crock pot and stir. Place shredded chicken back into crock pot.
3. Add whipping cream (transfer into a soup pot if necessary. . .I have a small crock pot). Add more cream, milk, or water until it is the right consistency.
Enjoy!

I'm going to have to try this, too! Although for Stan it will have to be skim milk. :-(
