Place 2 TBLS Canola Oil in a large soup kettle.Chop the Onion and Green Peppers. Mince the Garlic and add all 3 to the soup kettle. Over low heat, saute' until soft.
Combine the Chili Powder, Oregano, Salt and Cumin and set aside. I love pre measuring spices 'cause they look so pretty!
Chop up the tomatoes if you are using whole ones. See how fancy I do it? LOL! I just take a knife and chop it up and down inside the jar. It works just fine!
Add the Chicken Stock, Tomatoes, and measured spices to the kettle. Bring to a boil, lower the heat and let it simmer for about 10 minutes.
Add the Corn and the Black Beans and stir well.
Stir in the Chicken and the Cilantro. Bring the soup back to a boil, lower the heat and let it simmer while you prepare the Tortilla Strips
Heat the remaining 1 TBLS Oil in a skillet until hot. Add the sliced Tortilla strips and cook until brown and crunchy.
When you're ready to eat, ladle the hot soup into bowls, sprinkle with sliced Green Onion and top with crispy Tortilla Strips!
That's it. Enjoy!!
Yummmmmmm

I know some of my friends are highly observant and you will notice there is Cheese in the picture of the ingredients. Well, I deliberately did not add any Cheese and we both think the Soup is better without it!
