Begin by washing the radishes thoroughly, then trim the ends and slice them into thin rounds.
Peel and dice the carrots, potato, and onion. Mince the garlic cloves.
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and sauté for 3-4 minutes, until the onion is translucent and fragrant.
Add the sliced radishes, diced carrot, and potato to the pot. Sauté for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Pour in the low sodium vegetable broth. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover the pot and let the vegetables cook for about 20 minutes, until they are tender.
Remove the pot from heat. Using an immersion blender, carefully blend the soup until smooth and creamy. Alternatively, you can transfer the soup in batches to a countertop blender.
Return the pot to low heat and stir in the unsweetened almond milk. Add the fresh thyme leaves and ground black pepper. Gently heat until the soup is warmed through.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, keeping in mind the low sodium restriction.
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
