Soup green (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pea

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'soup' is the first definition.
(pea soup is a kind of soup)

'green' is the second definition.
(pea green is a kind of green)

(Other definitions for pea that I've seen before include "Climbing plant; vegetable" , "It grows in 23 Down" , "Edible green seed" , "It grows in a pod" , "veg" .)

I've seen this clue in the Penny Press and The Times.
