Brown burger, then add onion, celery, garlic, chilies, and butter, and cook until vegetables are translucent. In blender, puree 1 can of the beans, flour, and 1 cup of the milk. Add this mixture and the rest of the ingredients but the cheese to a pot and simmer for a 1/2 hour to blend the flavors. Add cheese and blend in to melt it before serving. Garnish with a dollop of sour cream, shredded mozzarella cheese, and a dash of paprika or fresh cilantro. Makes 6-8 servings.
