What’s in the chicken stew?

According to All Recipe this soup is only 3 steps making this an easy go-to stew:

1. Make a stock by simmering the chicken in seasoned water for about two hours, or until the chicken is cooked through. 
2. Transfer the chicken to a cutting board, remove the skin and bones, shred the chicken, and return it to the pot. 
3. Add the tomatoes, potatoes, carrots, celery, onions, and corn to the pot and cook until the potatoes have thickened the stew.
