Warm up olive oil in your big pot. Toss in the sausage pieces and fry until golden and crisped up, about 4-5 minutes. Take it out and keep aside.

Throw the onion, celery, and carrot into the same pot. Cook for around 5 minutes until soft. Stir in garlic and chili flakes, letting it cook just a minute longer.

Add the potatoes and pour in the chicken broth. Let it come to a boil. Lower the heat, cover it up, and let it simmer for 10-12 minutes until the potatoes soften.

Scoop out a little of the hot soup and mix it with milk to warm it slowly. Then, pour the milk back into the pot along with the sausage and cheese. Heat until thickened. Stir through parsley, taste, and add salt or pepper as needed.
