There aren't many soups in Italian cuisine, and those that do exist usually compete with pasta for the right to be the first dish on the table, and most often lose to pasta. "Thunder and Lightning" is one of those soups that Italians themselves love , it contains both beans and pasta, so there's nothing to compete for. Don't get the wrong idea, the name doesn't come from the consequences that legumes can cause in the stomach. On the contrary, it's a very nutritious and almost lulling dish. There is a version that the recipe has Jewish roots, but the Italians have long appropriated it and made it their own to such an extent that "Thunder and Lightning" is packed in tin cans and sold to go, just like Cambell's in America.
