Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and sauté for 3–5 minutes, or until translucent.
Add the thyme and garlic, then season with salt and pepper. Cook for 2 minutes, or until the garlic is fragrant.
Add the cubed potatoes and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Pour in the broth and stir well. Cover the pot, reduce the heat to low, and simmer for 20–25 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork tender.
Add the chopped kale and continue cooking, covered, for 5 minutes, or until the kale has wilted.
Using an immersion or regular blender, blend the soup to your desired consistency. Once blended, stir in the plant based milk and heat through. Taste for seasoning and adjust with additional salt & pepper if necessary.
Serve with crusty bread for dipping and, if desired, garnish with micro greens.
