Weigh chiles down with a small plate. Drain water after 15 minutes.

Place a large saucepan (big enough to hold the soup) over medium heat. Add ½ inch of oil, when it reaches 350-375 degrees fry the tortillas until they are crispy or golden brown.

4
Remove strips with a slotted spoon, place on paper towels to drain excess oil.

Place chiles and tomatoes in the blender. Blend well. Using a round strainer, strain mixture into the pot with onions and garlic. Push puree through with a ladle or a spoon in circular motions.
