Step-by-Step Instructions for Hearty Keto Soup
  1. In a large pot, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat until shimmering. Add diced boneless, skinless chicken thighs and brown for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until the chicken is golden and no longer pink inside.
  2. Next, stir in one chopped onion and 2 minced garlic cloves into the pot, sautéing for 2-3 minutes until the onion is translucent and fragrant.
  3. Toss in 2 cups of cauliflower florets and 1 cup of chopped celery, cooking the mixture for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables soften.
  4. Carefully pour in 4 cups of low-sodium chicken broth and add 1 teaspoon of dried thyme. Increase the heat to bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then lower the heat and simmer uncovered for 15-20 minutes.
  5. Stir in 1 cup of heavy cream, mixing well. Allow the Hearty Keto Soup to simmer for an additional 5 minutes, adjusting seasoning with salt and pepper.
  6. Ladle the hot soup into bowls and garnish with a sprinkling of fresh parsley for added color and freshness.
