Here are some of the potato soups from the 1953 edition, as always, with some changes I've made. Peel and slice the potatoes. Skin and chop the onions and the celery. Sauté in 1/1/2 tablespoons olive oil just until glazed. Add boiling water to cover. Cook until tender. Then put through a blender or into a processor and purée. Beat or stir in 2 tablespoons green olive oil or butter. Thin with either milk or broth, add pepper, Worchestershire and more salt if needed. Serve or chill and reheat later without boiling.
