Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F. Spread tortilla strips on a baking sheet sprayed with no-stick cooking spray. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until crisp and golden, stirring after 5 minutes. Set aside.
Meanwhile, heat oil in a large saucepan on medium heat. Add onion; cook and stir for 2 to 3 minutes. Add ancho chile pepper, cumin, garlic powder, and bay leaves; cook and stir for 2 to 3 minutes. Add stock and tomatoes. Reduce heat to low; simmer, uncovered, for 30 minutes. Discard bay leaves. Thicken soup, if desired.
To serve, place a small amount of chicken in each serving bowl. Ladle soup over top. Sprinkle with tortilla strips.
