Cut each of the biscuits into 4-6 small pieces and add them into the slow cooker as well.

Notes
- Make sure you are using the proper kind of biscuits. Flaky biscuits or butter flavored won't work as well.
- If you are using raw chicken, you'll know the soup is ready once the chicken easily falls apart.
- Don't skip the cornstarch and water. That is what helps the broth really thicken up.
