Slice the smoked beef sausage into rounds about 1/4 inch thick and set aside.

Step 2

In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the diced yellow onion, sliced carrots, and celery to the pot and sauté for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to soften.

Step 4

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the smoked beef sausage to the pot and cook for 3-4 minutes, allowing it to brown slightly for added flavor.
