Heat 3 tablespoons of the oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the garlic and cook for a few seconds. Add the diced tortillas, stir to evenly coat, and cook for about 5 minutes, or until they begin to crisp. Stir in the onion purée, poblanos, jalapeño, cilantro, cumin, pepper, and bay leaves. Constantly stirring,cook until the chiles and spices are aromatic, 3 to 4 minutes.
Add the vegetable stock and diced tomatoes and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Decrease the heat to medium-low and simmer for 30 minutes. Stir in the chili powder and salt, and simmer for 10 minutes longer. Remove and discard the bay leaves.
Cut the remaining 3 tortillas into 1/4-inch strips. Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the tortilla strips and cook, stirring often, for about 5 minutes, until lightly toasted and aromatic. Drain on paper towels.
To serve, ladle the soup into individual warmed bowls. Garnish with the crisp tortilla strips, avocado, cheese, chopped tomatoes, cilantro, and dollops of sour cream.
