For a richer flavor, consider using bone-in pork shoulder. You may need to increase the cooking time slightly.
If you prefer a milder chili, remove the seeds and membranes from the jalapenos and poblano peppers before blending.
Adjust the amount of chicken stock to achieve your desired consistency. Some people prefer a thicker chili, while others like it more soupy.
Serve with warm tortillas, rice, or your favorite toppings.
