2 cups milk
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

•INSTRUCTIONS:
Cook kielbasa: In a large pot, heat olive oil and cook sliced kielbasa until browned. Remove and set aside.
Sauté veggies: In the same pot, add butter, onions, and garlic. Cook until onions are translucent.
Add potatoes and broth: Stir in potatoes and chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes.
