Fry tortilla strips in hot oil, let brown lightly. Drain, set aside.

I've seen the strips packaged and ready to go in the stores. Saves making one more mess.

Apparently my soul was already saved. 
Thank you, Udo.

How can you tell the difference after soaking in that brine for a while?

Rob's Tortilla Soup
1 package corn tortillas
cooking oil for frying tortillas
6 medium dried pasilla chiles
4 medium garlic cloves chopped
3 large ripe tomatoes
2 medium white onions chopped
1 whole chicken cut up
6 cups chicken broth
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 1/2 teaspoon oregano
2 avocado peeled, pitted, chopped
6 ounces feta cheese
2 limes sliced
3 bay leaves
3/4 teaspoon majoram
3/4 teaspoon thyme
1 teaspoon black pepper corns
1 bunch cilantro chopped
Place chicken in a large pot with one thinly sliced onion, the three halved garlic cloves, and 4 1/2 quarts of water. Add thyme, majoram, bay leaves,
and pepper corns. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat and simmer until meat pulls easily away from the bones (about 1 hour). Lift
out chicken, shred meat and set aside. Return bones and skin to pot and add six cups home made chicken stock. Simmer for 1 - 2 hours. Strain the
broth through a fine wire-mesh strainer into a bowl. Discard fat that rises to the top. Remove stems, membranes, and seeds from three of the
chiles. Tear into 1 inch pieces and place in a saucepan with water to cover. Bring to a boil then remove from heat and let rehydrate for 30 minutes.
Roast tomatoes, chopped garlic, and 1 onion (chunked). Place in blender with the rehydrated chiles and one cup of the broth and puree until smooth.
Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a saucepan to medium high heat and add the puree. Stir for several minutes as the mixture thickens and darkens.
Combine the puree with the broth, add cumin and oregano and simmer for 30 minutes. Cut tortillas in half and into 1/4" strips. Fry in batches in hot
oil until crisp and lightly browned. Lift out and drain on paper towels. Fry remaining chiles in oil briefly and cut into rings. Place the
garnishes, (tortilla strips, avocado, limes, cilantro, and cheese) in bowls. Ladle soup over tortilla strips and garnish as desired.
Enjoy

Woody...
send me an e-mail (and any one else for that matter) and I'll forward you MY tortilla soup recipe. Keep in mind, however, I have won several food
contests with this soup and this recipe can not be published on any public forum.
I'll attach the recipe to your e-mail response
udowinkler@yahoo.com
p.s. to this date I have only received two U2U's with the recipe requests.
