In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion, sliced carrots, and sliced celery. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables start to soften.
Add minced garlic to the pot and sauté for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Pour the chicken broth into the pot and bring to a gentle boil. Lower the heat and let it simmer for about 10 minutes.
Add the shredded chicken into the pot, season with salt and pepper, and continue to simmer.
In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, tapioca starch, egg, and a pinch of salt. Mix until a sticky dough forms.
Using a spoon, drop small portions of the dough into the simmering soup to form the dumplings.
Cover the pot and let the dumplings cook for about 10-12 minutes until they are firm and cooked through.
Stir in coconut milk and let the soup heat through, about 2-3 minutes.
Serve hot, garnished with fresh chopped parsley.
