Preheat oven to 400ºF. Cut tortillas into 1/2-inch strips. Place on baking stone or cookie sheet. Bake 9-11 minutes or until crisp.

Meanwhile, cut chicken into 1/2-inch pieces. Heat 4-quart pot over medium-high heat with a little olive oil. Add chicken; cook and stir 3 minutes. Add chopped onion, pressed garlic, chili powder and cumin. Cook and stir 2 minutes. Stir in broth, tomatoes and chilies. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer 10 minutes. At this point you could add soup to a crock pot and keep warm.
