Directions:
Place a large pot on the stove and turn the heat to medium. Add olive oil and allow it to become hot.

In the same pot, add the onions and sauté for 5 minutes or until soft. Add garlic, then sauté for a minute or until aromatic.
Add celery, chicken broth, and potatoes. Simmer for about 10 minutes or until the potatoes are fork-tender. Mash ½ of the potatoes in the pot.
Place another pot on the stove and turn the heat to medium. Add butter and allow it to melt.
Add flour, then whisk and cook for a minute to remove the raw taste.
Add milk, then whisk and cook for 5 minutes or until smooth.
Turn off the heat. Add cheese and stir until completely melted.

Put the sausage back into the pot, then stir until well incorporated. Remove from the heat.
Top each serving with cheese and sour cream.
Serve and enjoy!
