- 3 cups Beef Broth, i use un-salted
- 3 cups Water
- 1 cup Smoked ham. 2-3 Smoked ham hocks are better if you can find them
- 1 med green pepper, i like using orange or yellow for the color contrast
- 1 large Tomato. I use a can of Ro-Tel instead. This will kick the spice a little more.
- 1/4 cup Dark Rum–Meyer's is what i use.
- 1 1/2 tsp Cumin ground
- 1 1/2 tsp Oregano
- 1 Habanero pepper–i sometimes use i canned chipotle pepper. It's more smokey tasting and not as hot.
