     1/4  cup           onion, finely chopped
   3      cups          tomatoes, finely chopped
   1      cup           beef broth
     1/4  cup           carrot, finely chopped
     1/4  cup           celery, finely chopped

     1/2  teaspoon      salt

NOTE: You can make this sauce as hot as you want by adding up to a total of
4 dried Chipotle chiles.

Cover chilies with warm water.  Let stand until softened, about 1 hour.
Drain and finely chop.  Cook and stir bacon and onion in a 2-quart saucepan
until bacon is crisp; stir in chilies and remaining ingredients.

Makes about 4 cups sauce.
