Yes, Arend, American "(split) pea soup" *is* more or less the same as your *
erwtensoup* and what we call *arf(t)ensup* (*Arf(t)ensupp*, German *
Erbsensuppe*) in Northern Germany.

There are various recipes, depending on a family's ethnic heritage. Most of
the time they are the same or similar to those of the Continental European
Lowlands, and I would not be surprised to find out that the predominant
American version goes back to Dutch and/or German or perhaps Scandinavian
immigrants. However, these days the soup tends to be slimmed down, being
either served without meat or with diced ham instead of large, fatty chunks
of animals' extremities and other body parts.

Regards,
Reinhard/Ron
