Add the chili powder, cumin, oregano and mustard and cook, stirring, just until combined. Add refried beans and 1 cup of broth and stir until smooth.

Pour in remaining broth and stewed tomatoes, dicing any large pieces of tomatoes. Add kidney and black beans and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer 5 minutes.

Meanwhile, cut the tortillas into thin strips about 2inch by ¼ inches.

When soup is heated, pour into individual bowls and garnish with tortilla strips and cilantro.
