Soreness and progress

Hello everyone, Beginner to the gym here. I noticed every single time i do high intensity/volume workouts at the gym, pretty much destroy myself, im extremely sore for the next few days (obv cuz my body isnt used to it). Problem is, after its been around 48hrs and i wanna hit that same muscle group again, im still extremely sore and stiff and my muscles are super tight. I also get a lack of strength in the gym as well, if i try to hit that same muscle group again, due to my muscles still feeling fatigued and sore. Im eating a very good amount of protein and calories daily (im a very skinny guy), im doing a caloric surplus rn. Sometimes it feels like im not making any progress cuz my body cant lift as much on some of these days. Anyone have any advise as to what i should do? Am i going too hard in the gym and should take it easier on the volume? Should i continue to work out while extremely sore even though it feels like im not lifting as strong? Any advise is greatly appreciated, thanks
