   1/2 medium white onion, chopped
   2 cloves garlic (medium), finely chopped
   1/2 teaspoon dried oregano (Mexican variety preferred), crumbled
   1/4 teaspoon dried marjoram
   4 cups turkey broth from Basic Cooked Turkey Breast (see Poultry)
   1 tablespoon tomato paste
   1 to 2 teaspoons pasilla or ancho chili powder
   1/4 pound thin green beans, cut into 1-inch pieces
   2 medium carrots, peeled and thinly sliced crosswise
   1 cup shredded or diced turkey meat
   1/4 teaspoon salt, or to taste
   2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
   1 lime, cut into wedges


1. Fry the tortilla strips until crisp and light brown. Drain on paper towels. Add 1 tablespoon of the frying oil to a large saucepan and cook the onion and garlic until they begin to brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the oregano, marjoram, broth, tomato paste, and ground chile. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

2. Add the beans and carrots. Cook, over medium heat, until the vegetables are tender, about 12 minutes. Add the turkey and salt. Cook until the soup is completely heated through, 4 to 5 minutes.

3. Divide the tortilla strips among 4 soup bowls. Ladle the hot soup into the bowls. Garnish with cilantro. Serve with lime wedges.
