Into a soup pot, add the bacon slices. Cook on low heat until the bacon is crispy and the bacon fat has rendered out. Remove the bacon to a plate lined with a paper towel. Turn the heat up to high. Add the pork loin. Brown the pork loin on all sides. Add the onion and the sea salt. Cook while stirring and scraping the bottom of the pot to loosen the brown bits that have accumulated. Add the garlic, the jalapeno pepper, the poblano peppers, the chili powder, the oregano, the cumin, and the cinnamon. Cook while stirring for two minutes. Add the tomatoes and the chicken stock. Stir well. Bring the mixture to a boil and then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer on low heat stirring occasionally for two hours.

Chop the crispy bacon into small pieces.

After two hours, remove the pork loin. Taste the soup and add more sea salt, if needed. Add the corn and the hominy to the pot. Cook for an additional 30 minutes.

Cut the cooked pork loin into about one inch pieces. Add the cooked meat to the soup right before serving. Serve with the crispy bacon pieces and lime wedges.
