Remove the outer leaves of the cabbage, quarter it, and remove the core. Slice the cabbage into thin strips.
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened and translucent.
Add the garlic, carrots, and celery to the pot. Cook for another 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are tender.
Add the cabbage to the pot and stir well to combine. Cook for 5 minutes, letting the cabbage soften slightly.
Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes, or until the cabbage is very tender.
Using an immersion blender, carefully blend the soup directly in the pot until smooth. Alternatively, transfer the soup in batches to a countertop blender and blend, ensuring you vent the lid for safety when blending hot liquids.
Stir in the almond milk and Greek yogurt until fully incorporated. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Let the soup simmer for an additional 5 minutes to heat through. If the soup is too thick for your liking, you can add more chicken broth or almond milk, a little at a time, to reach your preferred consistency.
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired. Serve hot.
