Made from dried peas. Pea soup is typically made by cooking dried peas, like split peas, which are peas that have been split in half and dried for storage.

Loved worldwide. Different cultures make their own versions of pea soup with variations, so it's a dish you can find in kitchens across many countries.

Yellow or greenish color. Depending on what type of peas a region uses, pea soup can be greyish-green or yellow, and all these peas come from the same plant called Pisum sativum.

Long shelf life. Dried peas can be stored for a long time without going bad, which made pea soup an important food throughout history when fresh vegetables weren't always available.

Hearty and filling. Pea soup is thick and satisfying, making it a perfect comfort food for cold days or anytime you want something warm and nourishing.
