For an extra layer of flavor, try grilling the chicken breasts before shredding them. If you like a spicier soup, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a diced jalapeño to the broth. Feel free to substitute the cheddar cheese with Monterey Jack or a Mexican cheese blend. Garnish with a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt for added richness.
