Here is how you make Williams Sonoma Tortilla-less Tortilla Soup:

This recipe is from my Williams Sonoma Soup Cookbook and it's irresistably good, so I've written down the recipe for a double batch. Ordinarily one would add tortillas to the soup, but it's delicious without them (and very healthy - even with the sprinkling of cheese) so I skip the tortillas. In a frying pan over medium heat, warm the oil. Add the onion, garlic, and the 4 tsp cilantro and saute until just golden brown (about 10 min). In a blender or food processor, combined sauteed mixture and the tomatoes. Process until smooth.In the frying pan, over medium-high heat, add the tomato mixture and cumin. Cook, stirring frequently, until thickened and darkened, 5-6 min. Transfer the mixture to large pot over medium-low heat and add the stock. Cover partially and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the soup is slightly thickened - about 20 min. While the soup is cooking, in a small, dry frying pan over medium-high heat, toast the seeded chiles until fragrant and somewhat crisp - about 10 minutes. Shake the pan often; don't let the chile burn. Let cool, then crumble and set aside. Add the chicken strips to the soup mixture and simmer until they are just opaque throughout, 2-3 min longer. Season to taste with salt & pepper. To serve, ladle soup into warmed bowls. Divide the crumbled chile, the cilantro, avocado, cheese and lime juice evenly between the bowls and serve immediately.
