Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Hearty Keto Soup
  1. Heat a large pot over medium heat and add a splash of olive oil. Once shimmering, add the diced chicken thighs. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until browned and cooked through.
  2. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the pot. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the onion is translucent and fragrant.
  3. Stir in the cauliflower florets and chopped celery, mixing thoroughly with the chicken base. Cook for another 3-4 minutes.
  4. Pour in the chicken broth and sprinkle in the dried thyme. Bring to a gentle boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to low and let simmer for 15-20 minutes until cauliflower is tender.
  5. Stir in the heavy cream, season with salt and pepper, and let it simmer for an additional 5 minutes.
  6. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve warm.

Notes

Ensure chicken pieces are uniform for even cooking. Consider adding bay leaves for extra depth during simmering. Can blend a portion for thicker consistency before adding cream.
