Step 1
Cut the 4 corn tortillas into thin strips. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large pot over medium-high and fry the strips until golden and crisp, about 5 minutes. Remove and set aside.
Step 2
In the same pot, add the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil and the 1 cup cherry tomatoes (halved) and 2 green chilies (sliced). Cook until the tomatoes soften, about 3 minutes.
Step 3
Pour in the 4 cups vegetable broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes, until the broth is fragrant and slightly colored.
Step 4
Ladle the soup into bowls. Top each with the crispy tortilla strips and 1/4 cup shredded cheese per bowl. Garnish with fresh cilantro if you have it.
