I modified and chilefied this from something in ArcaMax's recipe 
'zine, and it's wonderful.


Hot White Gazpacho
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
3 large cucumbers, peeled, seeded and chopped
2 cups Swanson's canned veggie broth (Midwesterners, don't 
       substitute Kroger brand, which is horrible--sugary, tinny and
             just weird.)
1/4 cup green onion, chopped
1-2 garlic cloves, minced
2 cups plain yogurt 
1 cup sour cream 
Split, seeded hot GREEN chiles, your favorite, to taste   
1 Tbsp. vinegar if desired, your choice
1 Tbsp. fresh dill weed
Salt and coarsely ground black pepper to taste
1 pinch cumin, optional but good
Fresh tomatoes, chopped, for garnish
Croutons for garnish

Combine all but the garnishes and the vinegar together in a food 
processor and process until it's soup but still a little bit chunky.  
Chill 
until ready to serve; overnight brings out the flavors.  Taste to see if 
you want to add the vinegar.  

Pour into bowls and garnish with tomatoes and croutons.  Serve 
with cantaloupe wedges, garlic toast and iced tea, ice-cold beer 
or a good Liebfraumilch.
