In a blender, puree canned tomatoes, quartered onion and garlic. Heat olive oil in a large stock pot, and add tomato puree mixture. Stir and slowly add chicken broth and salt. Bring to a boil then turn heat down to medium low and add corn, black beans and shredded chicken. If you like the texture, throw in the torn pieces of the tortilla. Taste the soup to see if you need to add any salt or pepper. Ladle into bowls and garnish with crisp tortilla strips, cilantro, avocado, freshly squeezed lime juice, sour cream and queso fresco.
