4. Add the garlic, onion, peppers, tomato paste, and corn.
5. Cover with water--you may need to add water throughout the cooking process.
6. Add the dry spices. Start with the minimum, you can always add more!
7. Cook on low for about 5 hours. Don't be afraid to add more spices and let it simmer longer--it will only add more flavor.
