Cheesy Chicken Tortilla Soup image

I perfected this recipe by "tweaking" to figure out a copycat recipe of Max and Erma's Chicken Tortilla Soup. It tastes so similar, and even if you haven't heard of Max and Erma's (it's a chain but only in certain areas), well, it's so yummy I just had to share it with the world. I usually throw everything into a slow cooker (my go-to method of making soups), but I'm sure it could be cooked stove top as well. I also like trying different add-ins (such as black beans, pepper slices), but those aren't in the original. Enjoy!!!

12 ounces chicken broth

18 ounces cheddar cheese (I use Progresso "Recipe Starters") or 18 ounces cheese soup (I use Progresso "Recipe Starters")
12 ounces chicken breasts (though I'm sure you could use cooked chicken if you'd like)
1 teaspoon chili powder
