Instructions

Soak navy, white lima, black, kidney, pinto, garbanzo, green split peas, pigeon peas, lentils, and barley overnight in sufficient water, then drain thoroughly.
Place the drained beans and barley in a large stockpot with 2 quarts of water and the ham bone.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer, skimming any foam; cover and cook for 2 hours.
Add tomatoes, onion, lemon juice, chili powder, thyme, and sage; continue simmering for 30 minutes.
Stir in salt and pasta; cook for an additional 15 minutes until the pasta is done and beans are tender.
If needed, add more water to achieve the desired soup consistency.
Remove the ham bone, debone the meat, chop it, and return the meat to the soup.
