Grandpa Snub's Chili

A soupy version of a green chile. From Great American Brand Name Recipes Cookbook, 1989 version. I'm writing it as posted, but I did not add the pinto beans, and I used cut up pork chops. I also did not use as much meat as recipe calls for. The recipe also reads that "This chili is equally delicious made with beef."
