Recipe
Spray large nonstick saucepan with vegetable oil spray. Add onion and garlic; cover and cook over medium-low heat until almost tender, stirring often, about 5 minutes. Stir in tomato paste, cumin and chili powder. Add broth, tortillas, and 2 tablespoons cilantro; bring to boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer until flavors blend, about 15 minutes. Add tomatoes, beans, zucchini and jalape�o to soup. (I strongly recommend only adding � Tb of jalape�o at a time, and then adding more, if desired, to taste. I used only � Tb and I personally wouldn't go any spicier than that.) Cover; simmer until zucchini is tender, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
Ladle soup into bowls. Sprinkle with remaining 2 tablespoons cilantro.
