(you can use either half white, half dark or all dark. i like boneless, skinless because it s easier), ham steak, cut into 1/2 inch cubes, broth or stock (i like to use 1/2 chicken and 1/2 beef, just to give it some richness.), spices: (best to use dried herbs for this), thyme, basil, oregano, onion powder, black pepper, white pepper, cayenne pepper (even this little amount makes it a little on the spicy side, right on the back of your tongue. if you d rather it not that spicy, just add 1/2 to 3/4 tsp), chili powder, recipe calls for 5 tsp of salt, but i usually hold off on salt until the end since the ham, the sausage and the broth usually have a lot of salt, depending on what brands you use)
