Steps:
- Place the rinsed chicken in a 5-quart soup pot. Cover with water by 2 inches. Add the cumin, chili powder, onion, celery, carrot, garlic, oregano, and cilantro leaves. Bring to a boil and simmer the chicken for 30-45 minutes until tender and done.
- Remove chicken from the pot and cool slightly. Do not discard broth. While the chicken cools, soak the tortillas in 3 cups of the broth (inside the jar of the blender) for 5 minutes, then purée until smooth.
- Return the pureed tortillas to the pot and season with salt and pepper.
- When the chicken is cool enough to handle, remove the skin, bones, and any fatty pieces from the chicken meat. Cut or pull the meat into bite-sized pieces.
- Add the chicken back to the soup pot with the broth and heat until hot.
- Peel and seed the avocado, then grate the cheese. Thoroughly wash cilantro and mince; finely dice onions. Ladle the soup into bowl and garnish with the chips, cheese, avocado, cilantro, and onions. Serve and enjoy.
