In a large pot cook chicken, onion, and garlic in olive oil. Add cumin, chili powder, salt and pepper. Then add chicken broth, corn, beans, tomatoes, lime juice and cilantro. Add most of tortilla strips but reserve some to broil in the oven to top soup with. Allow soup to simmer for about 10 minutes, the tortilla strips will thicken the soup.
