Boiled pea and got soup! (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

potage

'soup' is the definition.
(potage is a kind of soup)

'boiled pea and got' is the wordplay.
'boiled' is an anagram indicator (letters cooked or boiled into a new form).
'and' says to put letters next to each other.
'pea' put after 'got' is 'gotpea'.
'gotpea' anagrammed gives 'POTAGE'.

(Other definitions for potage that I've seen before include "this spoon-fed?" , "French soup, usually thick" , "that's thick" , "Stock food item" , "> sort of liquid nourishment" .)
