  1. In a large pot, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced boneless, skinless chicken thighs and cook for about 5 minutes until golden brown.
  2. Add the chopped small onion and minced garlic. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant.
  3. Stir in the cauliflower florets and chopped celery, cooking for another 3-4 minutes until the vegetables start to soften.
  4. Pour in the low-sodium chicken broth and sprinkle in the dried thyme. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer for 15-20 minutes.
  5. Once the vegetables are tender, stir in the heavy cream and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
