Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Place the chicken breasts skin side up on a sheet pan. Rub with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and roast for 35 to 40 minutes, until done. When the chicken is cool enough to handle, discard the skin and bones, and shred the meat. Cover and set aside.
• Meanwhile, heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven. Add the onions, celery, and carrots and cook over medium-low heat for 10 minutes, or until the onions start to brown. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Add the chicken stock, tomatoes with their puree, jalapenos, cumin, coriander, 1 tablespoon salt (depending on the saltiness of the chicken stock), 1 teaspoon pepper, and the cilantro, if using. Cut the tortillas in 1/2, then cut them crosswise into 1/2-inch strips and add to the soup. Bring the soup to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer for 25 minutes. Add the shredded chicken and season to taste. Serve the soup hot topped with sliced avocado, a dollop of sour cream, grated Cheddar cheese, and broken tortilla chips.

Steps:

• Puree the onions, garlic and tomatoes in a food processor, adding a little water if needed. Heat 3 tablespoons of melted lard or oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Slowly pour in the vegetable liquid, being careful to avoid spattering.
• Add saffron and chili powder, if using them. Simmer gently, partly covered, for 10 minutes. Add the chicken soup and simmer gently, partly covered, for about 20 minutes more. Season with salt and pepper and add the chicken, keeping the soup warm over very low heat.
• Heat the remaining oil in an 8-inch skillet over medium heat. When hot, add the noodles and saute, turning them gently, until golden brown. Remove with a slotted spatula and drain on paper towels. The soup can be prepared to this point up to 30 minutes before finishing and serving.
• Bring the soup to a simmer. Add the noodles and cook until tender, about 7 to 8 minutes. Serve immediately, garnishing each portion with a sprig of cilantro. Pass the other garnishes at the table.
