Step-by-Step Instructions

In a large pot, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced boneless skinless chicken thighs and sauté for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is browned and cooked through.
Next, stir in a small diced onion and 2 minced garlic cloves. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the onions are translucent and the garlic is fragrant.
Introduce 3 cups of cauliflower florets and 1 cup of chopped celery. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently.
Carefully pour in 4 cups of low-sodium chicken broth and sprinkle in 1 teaspoon of dried thyme. Raise the heat to a gentle boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cover and let simmer for 15-20 minutes until tender.
Stir in 1 cup of heavy cream and season with salt and pepper to taste. Allow the soup to simmer for an additional 5 minutes.
Ladle the hearty soup into warm bowls and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for garnish.
