Instructions
In a 2-quart saucepan, heat 2 teaspoons oil over medium-high heat. Add tortilla strips, and cook 2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until crisp and light golden brown (this step may need to be done in two batches to get the most golden crispiness). Remove from pan and drain on paper towels.
In the same saucepan, heat the remaining 1 teaspoon oil over medium-high heat, and add the onion, stirring occasionally until the onion begins to caramelize, about 20 to 25 minutes. Stir in broth, tomatoes, chili powder, and cumin. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, and simmer uncovered, about 20 minutes.
Stir in tortilla strips and any add-ins. Garnish as desired.
