Dredge pork in flour. Heat oil on medium high for 2-3 minutes. Fry pork in oil until brown.
Add 32 oz. of chicken stock. Bring to a boil and turn down to medium. Boil for 15-20 minutes.
Meanwhile blend tomatoes in a blender.
Then, add the rest of the chicken stock (32 oz.)

Turn down heat to simmer for 1 hour.
If chili needs to be thicker- blend 2 T. corn starch and 1/4 cup of cold water
Bring chili to a boil, add corn starch and whisk with a whisk.
Turn down heat and let thicken for a few minutes.
NOTE: Chili is always better the next day-I like the make this chili the night before so the flavors blend together.
