Thanks so much for this wonderful comment. I do think food and smell memories are stronger than most. This one is definitely stuck in my head! Joe

Sopfia(think that was how it was spelt). Your memories of how it was said and spelt was exactly my experiences of my grandmothers version. This was back in the fifties in the UK.

I love your story. Thanks for sharing it! Please let us know how your “soup” turns out!! Whenever I think about this comforting dish, I think about the Dean Martin song that mentions it! Joe

My grandmother was second the first generation of her family born in America via Italy. Her maiden name was ‘Ambrose’ shortened from ‘Ambrosetti’ when the family immigrated to the US. Weird things happen when families move across the world, especially back in the day.
I can’t wait to try this recipe! My grandma always made pasta fasul for us growing up (pronounced as such) she grew up in Youngstown, Ohio

My friends from Padua make their very soupy, mashing the beans and with very little pasta. Your version looks delicious.

It seems each region has a different way to make it and they’re all delicious, as is yours.

Yep, this is the greatest mystery of our family. She was one of 5 girls and no one knows where that last name came from.. Thanks. Joe
