Chile Colorado
- 1/2 pound dried New Mexico chiles

- Bring 4 quarts water to a boil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Stir in chiles, and cover. Remove from heat, and let stand 30 minutes or until soft. Drain.
- Place half of chiles, 2 1/2 cups broth, and garlic in a blender; process until smooth. Pour the pureed mixture into a large bowl; repeat procedure with remaining chiles and broth. Strain chile mixture through a sieve into a large saucepan, and discard solids. Stir in salt. Cook over medium heat 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
