The green chile spread was more common than ketchup in my family. Of course, it was made with a lot of butter. Here is a modified, program friendly version - a zero point recipe!

The Garaden Vegetable Soup recipe is available in the Week 1 Weight Watchers member materials.

This spread is handy to have around. I eat it on crackers, add it to eggs, turkey sandwiches, bagles with ff cream cheese, quesadillas... you get the idea.

If you don't have frozen chile where you are, you can use canned. I prefer frozen because it doesn't have the preservatives that have a tangy vinegary taste. Here's a link to the kind I use (Bueno)

I know it's available at WalMart in and around San Antonio. Not sure about the rest of the country - let me know!
