- Add 1 cup of broth, cover with the lid and blend on high for 30 seconds until smooth.
- Pour the mixture into a Dutch oven on the stove over medium-high heat.
- Add the remaining 1 cup of broth, black beans, corn, oregano, cumin and salt. Stir to combine.
- Cover with lid and bring mixture to a simmer, then reduce heat to low-medium and cook for about 5 minutes.
- While soup is cooking, cut tortillas into quarters, then cut each quarter into 5/8-inch-wide strips.
- Place tortilla strips in the center of a nonstick sheet pan and drizzle with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil. Toss with your hands to coat the tortilla strips with oil, then arrange them in a single layer and bake for 8 to 10 minutes.
- Divide soup into 4 bowls, top with tortilla strips and garnish each with radish slices and 2 slices of avocado.
