The best pea soup I ever had was my grandmothers; full split pea with ham chunks and diced onion. No one has ever made anything close.

What you describe in that tomato soup sounds like garnish. There's nothing wrong with adding garnish to improve flavor and texture. I finished mine with Parmesan, extra virgin olive oil, and fresh basil.
