| 1. Saute onion in olive oil until slightly browned. | 2. Add garlic, cumin and oregano; cook for 10 more minutes, stirring frequently. | 3. Add tomatoes, vegetable broth and pasilla chile. | 4. Bring to a boil, then lower heat slightly and add masa harina (if using; I like the flavor and it adds a little more"body" to the soup), stirring well until it's dissolved. | 5. Simmer gently 30 minutes. | 6. In the meantime, heat vegetable oil in a skillet. | 7. Carefully add tortilla strips; sprinkle with salt and chili powder and fry until lightly crispy (you may need to turn on your range fan for this event!). | 8. Sprinkle with the juice of 1/2 lime and set aside. | 9. And here's the important part- try not to eat all the tortilla strips before the soup is done! | 10. LOL! | 11. Squeeze the juice of 1 lime into the soup after it's simmered for 30 minutes; heat 10 minutes more. | 12. To serve, place cheese in soup bowls; ladle soup over and top with crispy tortilla strips. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
