7 oz Canned whole green chiles,

Heat oil in large, deep skillet. Add onions and cook until tender but
not browned. Place tomatoes in blender or food processor and blend
until chopped but not pureed. Add tomatoes and chiles to onion and
cook 5 minutes. Add broth, salt, sugar and pepper and cook 5 minutes
longer. Break each egg, one at a time, onto small plate and slide
into hot broth mixture carefully so as not to break yolk. Arrange 1
cheese slice on top of each egg. Cover and cook gently 5 to 8
minutes, or until eggs are set and cheese is melted.
