The first historical mention of pea soup can be traced to 500-400 B.C. era Athens vendors. Many cultures have relied on the dish in times when meat protein sources were scarce.

Even today, many consumers select pea soup for its affordability and health benefits. In its many variations, pea soup is generally a low-fat, protein-filled meal that is loaded with fiber and folate.
