Step 1

Prepare the soup pot: Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large soup pot over medium heat.Make sure the pot is large enough to accommodate all ingredients and allow for even cooking.

Step 2

Sauté the onion and peppers: Add ½ cup minced onion and ½ cup diced poblano pepper to the pot.Cook for 3-4 minutes until they are softened, ensuring you stir occasionally to prevent burning.

Add the remaining ingredients: Gently stir in 4 corn tortilla strips, 1 tablespoon minced garlic, 2 tablespoons diced jalapenos, ½ tablespoon cumin, 1 tablespoon chili powder, 2 cups canned tomatoes and ½ cup crushed tomatoes.

Step 5

Simmer the soup: Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the pot and let the soup simmer for about 15-20 minutes.This will allow the flavors to meld together and create a rich, tangy flavor.
