In a large casserole or soup pot, cook the pork fat over medium-high heat until there is some fat in the bottom of the pot, about 5 minutes, stirring constantly.
Then add the potatoes, cabbage, chard, onion, and garlic until the greens are wilted, about 5 minutes.
Pour in the water, bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, add the beans, ham or smoked bacon, and tomato, and cook until the beans are tender, 2 to 3 hours.
Add the elbow macaroni and continue to cook until a spoon can stand straight up in the center of the soup, and the pasta is tender-about 15 minutes.
Season with salt and pepper, drizzle with olive oil, and serve.
