This expression comes from the First World War. The french-Canadian regiments, under the orders of General Sir Arthur William Currie, from whom came the idea to feed his troops with pea soup. He said that pea soup was the most consistent food and in fact, the soldiers would improve their performance on the battlefield.

Found to be very funny from English soldiers' point-of-view, the french-Canadian soldiers were from then, named "Pea Soup!"

Soups have been developed over many years. Regional and family variations have even made soups with the same name, subtly different. Example recipes for bouillabaisse' (a French fish soup) and vichyssoise' (it's a French vegetable soup in a chicken broth which is served cold) and others can be found at the related link.
