5. Simmer the Soup: Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce heat and let it simmer for 15 minutes.
6. Shred the Chicken: While the soup is simmering, shred the cooked chicken into bite-sized pieces.
7. Combine Chicken with Soup: Add the shredded chicken back into the pot and stir. Allow it to heat through for another 5 minutes.
8. Add Cheese: Stir in half of the shredded cheese until melted and combined.
9. Taste and Adjust: Taste the soup and adjust seasoning if necessary.
