With so infantile a taste in food why don't you simply buy jars of
Beechnut or Gerbers? Perfect for you:

My pea soup contains diced potato, carrot, and onion so there are
always bits of veggies anyway... besides I don't care for pureed
soups, I prefer soup with bits and pieces... there are chunks and bits
of meat from the ham bone too. One of my yellow pea soups made with
whole dried peas... hitting it with a stick blender would be a felony:
