Add peanut butter or coconut oil to your smoothies. Yum! Or make your favorite soup and puree it -- beans puree nicely in soups, and if you're not sure you want a lot you can always add part of a can of refried beans... already mashed! Again, if you're not getting enough calories, add eggs or fats to your soups.
Soft-cooked eggs might be easy to eat, too.
Cottage cheese is pretty soft. Hard cooked eggs mashed up with cottage cheese and flavored with mustard makes a kind of deviled-egg-tasting dish that would be fairly soft.
Fruits can be stewed or cooked into sauces and added to yogurt or pudding.
Some veggies can be stewed, like one of my faves -- tomatoes and spinach (it's how I learned to like spinach; now I can eat it alone but I still love it stewed with tomatoes). Cauliflower, parsnips, squash, carrots, and potatoes all can be mashed and are soft.
Google recipes for "congee", which is an Asian rice porridge. Or oatmeal made with milk (or cream for more calories) and fruit is a good soft porridge.

Healthy liquid diet
But, I digress, and I know that's not really a healthy eating sort of thing. However, I can tell you that I lost 22 pounds in that 6 weeks pretty much eating the three things listed above over and over and over again. Boring, but reliable and tasty. Good luck with your mouth healing!
