Combine the first 7 ingredients into a 6-quart slow cooker. Turn cooker setting to high and set timer for 2 hours. After 2 hours, turn setting to low and cook for 4-6 hours. If you are going to be away from home, turn setting to low and set for 8-10 hours. About 2 hours before serving, add the chicken broth to make to stew as soupy as you would like (you do not need all 32 oz.); make sure you give yourself time to let the broth heat up with the stew. When stew is ready, put 1 ½ cup into a bowl to serve. Garnish with cilantro, sour cream, cheese, and avocado, if you like. Enjoy!
