A well-known nursery rhyme which first appeared in 1765 speaks of
Pease porridge hot,Pease porridge cold,Pease porridge in the potNine days old.
"Pease" is the original form of the word "pea." According to the Baring-Goulds, pease porridge was "a thin pudding," which presumably would be the same thing as a thick soup.
In 19th century English literature, pea soup is referred to as a simple food. In a Thackeray novel, when a character asks his wife "Why don't you ask some of our old friends? Old Mrs. Portman has asked us twenty times, I am sure, within the last two years," she replies, with "a look of ineffable scorn," that when "the last time we went there, there was pea-soup for dinner!" In Thomas Hardy's Tess of the D'Urbervilles, Tess remarks that "we have several proofs that we are d'Urbervilles... we have a very old silver spoon, round in the bowl like a little ladle, and marked with the same castle. But it is so worn that mother uses it to stir the pea-soup."
