Step 1

In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced sausage, and cook until lightly browned. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the sausage to a bowl and set aside.

Step 2

Add onions to the pot and cook over medium heat, stirring often for about 5 minutes, until the onions have just begun to turn translucent around the edges.

Step 3

Add garlic and cook until lightly golden, about 1 minute.

Step 4

Add chicken broth, potatoes, and celery to the pot. Bring to a simmer and then cook for 10 to 15 minutes, until potatoes can be easily smashed against the side of the pot with a fork.

Step 5

Use a potato masher or spatula to roughly smash about half of the potatoes in the pot.

Step 6

In a medium pot, over medium heat, melt butter and then add flour. Cook, whisking continuously, until flour begins to turn lightly golden, about 1 minute.

Step 7

Slowly drizzle in milk, whisking constantly as you go to whisk out any lumps. Cook, whisking continuously, until mixture is thickened and bubbly around the edges, about 5 minutes.

Step 8

Remove pot from heat and slowly whisk in cheese, a handful at a time. Once all your cheese is melted, stir the cheese sauce into the soup. Add pepper. Taste the soup and add salt if needed.

Step 9

Add the sausage back to the pot and stir everything together.

Step 10

Serve, top with more cheese if desired, and enjoy!
