Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Brush both sides of each tortilla with oil, using 1 tablespoon of the oil. Cut the tortillas in half, then cut each half into 1/4-inch wide strips. Arrange the strips on a baking sheet, sprinkle with the salt, and bake until crisp and golden, about 12 minutes. Remove from oven and set aside.
- Heat the remaining 1 teaspoons of oil in a large heavy skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until onion is soft and translucent. Add the garlic, jalapeno, cumin, and oregano and cook for 1 minute more. Add the broth and tomatoes, bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 10 minutes. Stir in lime juice.
- Remove the pan from the heat and puree with an immersion blender or in 2 batches in a regular blender until the soup lightens in color but chunks of tomato remain, about 30 seconds. Serve the soup topped with the tortilla strips, a dollop of sour cream, and a sprinkle of cilantro.

Tips:
- Use ripe, juicy tomatoes: This will give your soup the best flavor. If you can, use fresh tomatoes from the garden or farmers market. If using canned tomatoes, choose a brand that uses high-quality tomatoes and no added salt.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the vegetables, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly and will make the soup watery. Cook the vegetables in batches if necessary.
- Season to taste: Be sure to taste the soup as you're cooking it and adjust the seasonings as needed. Add more salt, pepper, or chili powder to taste.
- Garnish with your favorite toppings: Once the soup is finished, garnish it with your favorite toppings. Some popular options include sour cream, avocado, cilantro, and crumbled tortilla chips.
