  1. In a large stockpot, soak dried beans in 2 quarts of water overnight (at least 8 hours). Discard the ham seasoning packet. Drain beans and put back in the stockpot.

  3. In a skillet, add olive oil and onions. Cook onions on medium-low until translucent, stirring occasionally. Add garlic to the onions and cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes until fragrant.
  4. Add onions and garlic to beans. Add chopped tomatoes, chili powder, lemon juice, and pepper to beans. Simmer for an additional 30 to 45 minutes.
  5. Taste soup and add salt if needed. Remove ham bone. Shred any large chunks of ham from the bone or in the soup and put the ham pieces back into the soup. Discard ham bone.
