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.
