Heat olive oil over medium heat in a large pot.
Add chopped onion, minced garlic, diced celery, and diced carrots to the pot. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are soft.
Add the peeled and cubed potatoes to the pot, and stir to combine with the other vegetables.
Pour in the vegetable broth and add the bay leaf, thyme, salt, and black pepper.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
Remove the bay leaf from the pot.
Using an immersion blender, purée the soup until smooth and creamy. Alternatively, you can let the soup cool slightly and blend it in batches in a regular blender.
Stir in the coconut milk and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Simmer the soup for another 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
