Peel and finely chop the garlic cloves and onion. Peel and dice the potato into small cubes.
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic and sauté for about 5 minutes until they become translucent and fragrant.
Add the diced potato to the pot and stir well. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, letting the flavors combine.
Pour in the vegetable broth and coconut milk, stirring to mix with the other ingredients. Add the salt, black pepper, fresh thyme, and bay leaf to the pot.
Increase the heat to high and bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let it simmer for about 25 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
Remove the bay leaf from the pot. Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. If you do not have an immersion blender, carefully transfer the soup to a countertop blender, blend until smooth, and then return it to the pot.
Stir in the lemon juice, tasting to adjust the seasoning if necessary.
Serve the soup hot, garnishing each bowl with freshly chopped parsley.
