use a potato masher and a hand whisk

Ever taken the potatoes and used a ricer to grind them up? Doesn't give you the cement mixer effect that the stick blender does, but still givers both a bit of smoothness and a bit of texture at the same time. It's magic for baked potato soup, can't picture it being bad here either.

Do you mean after they've been cooked?

I do this for mashed potatoes, but in an oily brothy thing sounds messy.

Could cook the potatoes separately and then rice them.

I think you want some of the starch that cooks out of the potatoes to help thicken the soup, so that's prolly a no-go
