Thanks Dee, but the one I am looking for is Erwtensoep (Dutch pea soup)
and one of the ones I found was on the same site

http://www.soupsong.com/rpea2.html

However this calls for split peas and I have frozen (so called) fresh
garden peas, to answer your question. I dunno if these will do? I don't
know why I bought them, they are a brand I have never tried, but they
"looked" okay. Tried some last night and they were as tough as old
boots! That'll larn me, as my Mom used to say. And as the French recipe
calls for frozen tiny peas (that are usually very tender)..... hmmmm.
