1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat and brown the sliced beef or turkey smoked sausage for 3-4 minutes. Remove and set aside.

2. In the same pot, add onion and cook for 3 minutes until soft. Stir in garlic and cook 30 seconds.

3. Add potatoes, carrots, celery, smoked paprika, thyme, pepper, and salt. Stir to coat.

4. Pour in chicken broth, bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook uncovered for 15 minutes until potatoes are tender.

5. In a small bowl, whisk milk and flour until smooth. Stir into the soup and simmer 3-5 minutes until slightly thickened.

6. Add the browned sausage back to the pot and stir in shredded cheddar cheese until melted and creamy.

For extra smoky flavor, fully brown the sausage before removing it from the pot.
