Joy's Chicken Avocado Tortilla Soup

1/3 cup chopped onion
3 cloves garlic
¾ tsp. cumin
¾ tsp. oregano
¼ tsp. pepper
8 cups Chicken broth
1 can diced tomatoes
1 can diced green chilies (4 oz.)
10 corn tortillas
1 ½ lb (approx. 4) chicken breasts cooked and shredded
1 avocado
2 tbs. chopped fresh cilantro
Salt to taste
½ cup shredded cheese

Saute the first six ingredients for 1 minute. Add the broth, tomatoes, and chilies. Stack the tortillas and cut into 1/8 inch strips. Add the strips to the boiling broth. Simmer for 15 minutes or until the tortilla strips have thickened the broth. Add the chicken, stir in the cilantro and salt to taste.
Pour the soup into bowls and top with sliced avocados and cheese. Enjoy!
